Transmitter engineering: Postcode: RH135DA
Numerous outages at this postcode for the past few months. Similar reports at RH12 1JL.
Complete loss of all channels (weak or no signal). This occurs early morning and evening, mostly. Then all is fine. I suspect interference. Replaced aerial with little improvement . Aerial mounted 1metre pole above apex of 2 storey house.

Thank Chris, very helpful.
Yes Group K aerial fitted. Old triple Yagi Televes 45 was considered unnecessary anymore and it had a broken reflector arm.
I will follow up the filter suggestion. Haven't had any postcard in recent times and certainly not since this problem started. I reckon the enormous mast at the corner of Barttelot road RH12 1DE is the likely problem.
Thanks
Steve

The frequencies listed for Midhurst are conflicting and appear to be incorrect as at 13 July 2018. Publication of the Midhurst frequencies is essential in some areas, particularly Horsham, West Sussex, where the Rowridge transmitter lies within the same capture angle, has a much higher power than Midhurst (but generally poorer quality) and often overrides the Automatic set up on TV's. In addition, the reception problems are exacerbated by Heathfield lying directly behind the antenna. Manual set up therefore becomes essential using the published frequency tables.
