Thanks for the suggestion - I'm guessing the signal strength must have increased at some point in the last few years, then? The signal used to be really weak because we're on the edge of the transmitter range. Anyway, reception has actually improved again anyway - perhaps weather-related? But I'll try disconnecting the booster if it happens again (not a five-minute job).
Thanks again,
Gavin

Hi,
First I'd just like to say what a great site this is - I've learned stacks and this will be my first port of call for any problems in the future...
Right, brown-nosing over: we're on the Tacolneston transmitter, but only just (with a booster aerial and signal amplifier). The signal strength on the multiplex with ITV and C4 seems to have dropped markedly over the past few days. Any idea why or what I can do? You report engineering work, but not on the digital side. I've just updated the software on my Humax box, but have reset channels and so on, so I'm sure there's nothing I've done wrong there. Could the software upgrade reduce signal quality? Any ideas gratefully received....
Also - can I assume that the signal will improve a lot after the switchover in November?
Thanks very much,
Gavin
