Sandy Heath (Central Bedfordshire, England) Full Freeview transThursday 29 September 2011 11:57AM

As I wasn't busy I made up a quick shield with a length of mesh and a couple of strips of tin foil, balanced the lot on top of the cold water tank and bingo 5 USA is back, gone from zero quality to half way up. Worth a go if you have a loft aerial.

Since the sandy heath retune my tv reception has got terrible, I'm getting picture break up on pretty much every channel. Is there still work being done or could it be atmospherics?

I live to the north of Luton and channel 31 has been wiped out completely which means no CSI on 5 USA. Sandy Heath is north east of here with Crystal palace to the south south east. I was wondering if I could shield the aerial on that side with some wire mesh and tin foil and ground it I would be able to block out the crystal palace signal (the aerial is in the loft). Might be a project for tomorrow if I'm not busy
