Good Day.
Because the BBC multiplex has changed frequency from Channel 62 to channel 50, this is just outside the bandwidth of reception for my mothers installation. There is intermittent pixelation on all BBC channels. Can the cost of a new antenna be paid for by the, well, who would be responsible for claiming the cost of a wider bandwidth antenna???? Has any money been set asside for cases similar to this? James.

Thanks for the comments, and I suspect that the antenna is well over 10 years old and I also suspect that the type used is not digital and therefore does not have a good gain/bandwidth product. It just looks like a standard type, and also, the downlead is without a metalic screen. This means it is susceptable to RFI from the main road. Thank you all for the info and I now will invest in a new digi type with new downlead. James
