Maybe Mark will give more precision on his channels/muxes impacted,
but COM 5 (eg food network) , for the duration of yesterday/ 1st was unwatchable, in Ely compared to all the other muxes, even though they all showed similar strength and quality though (on both panasonic tv & humax box)
Today COM5 is fine, as remain others

It is as though, for maintenance, they had cut back the bitrate to introduce both pixellation and audio distortion.

COM5 has been bad for most evening this past week >10pm , but this is the first time I see this throughout the day.

[
aerial (in loft) currently has a look angle of about 200 degrees, and calculation yesterday suggested 220 would be more accurate, but I don't see that such an error could be responsible for just com5 ., yagi type aerial maybe 15 elements

Chris.

I now rang restoretv and they are sending some 4G/5g filters - I'll report back

They gave me number for freeview information service too 03456 505050
which I may try to see if they can provide details on what maintenance sandy heath does regularly which might impact COM5/c36 more than others.

Yagi aerial, 10yr old, for which I can't see any specific manufacturer identity , may have been optimal for previous channel range up to c69,
perhaps a ubiquitous log36 aerial would give massive improvement ?

Thanks, Paul
