jb38: it rained yesterday, thunder storms , and heavy down pour....... i had all my stations !!! everything worked , no breaking up etc etc perfect picture...............turned tv on this morning, lost Pick TV again saying no or bad signal or this station my be scrambled. also lost Really tv, Yesterday keeps breaking up, weather today has been light showers, but mainly sunshine, seems i need it to constantly rain for to get a perfect picture with no lost of viewing at all :( i guess i will just have to resign myself to miss all my favourite programs. i will check again in a few days to see what the signal is like, but i wont keep messing around with it. thats it now, thanks again to all that has tried to help, seems like my only option is Virgin ir Sky and i cant afford either lol xx

jb38: hi, i had an engineer out when i first moved in, am i in a ground floor council flat the woman who lives up stairs also wouldnt let me have a dish put on "her property" as she put it as she owns her flat up stairs, so my dish would have to be low and around the back of my property, I am in the property that adjoins at right angle lol, tipical isnt it, ive given up trying to watch my stations now i even just tried to watch a film on film 4 and it keeps breaking up, same with a few other stations now, may aswell get rid of my tv , as it will save me money not having to fork out for a tv licences for something i cant watch half the time, thanks for all your help and advice, time to get rid rid of tv !!!!

jb38: Hi again, i will try a signal booster as this is driving me round the bend, even though i like watching the Olympic ( not much choice really ) i am getting a bot board with it and i miss my programmes from Really, Pick tv etc, but do you think a booster will help ? if it pours down with rain i have a great picture but for the past few days ive had nothing at all on those stations :( i just cant understand the weather causing so much trouble with my viewing . so will get a booster like you said if it doesnt work i can always return it lol thanks again x ( oh cut down a lot of those trees that you see on google, but cant cut down the ones surrounding the property as they are council ) lol

jb38: thank you for all your help, i got one of those one for all signal splitter/ amplified 10x gain which takes up to 4 tv at a car boot this morning for £1.50 ( selling in PC World for £29.99 ) so i thought id give it a try, and it works !!!! i retuned my freeview box did an automatic search instead of a manual and ive got perfect tv now, even all the station i could only get before when it rained are now there, and at a bargain price !!! i would never have thought of getting one of these if you hadnt suggested it, so anyone else out there having problems look for one of these, its called one for all signal splitter sv9542 . thanks again Suzy

jb38: i have to do a retune on the 19th :( as it has been saying on Really that some stations are changing on the 19th to different Numbers !!! so will let you know the outcome of that when it happens, but its been great to have all my stations back again, really, pick tv , Yesterday etc etc, no freezing or breaking up and weather has been sunny and rain and the picture on the tv hasnt change infact its a lot clearer than it was before , got a lovely picture ! let hope after the retune it all stays the same, wish i didnt have to do it, but if i dont i wont be getting those channels x

jb38: hiya i just did what you have asked and gone into see what the strength and signal is on Ch52 and for some reason the strength is at 61% and the quality fluctuates between 50 and 75, normally when i go in there , there is completely no quality at all, how strange that i an getting that today, my picture on these Pick tv is terrible it keeps breaking up, the strength doesnt move at all it is staying at 61% just the quality that is moving, my neighbour have sky or virgin am the only one in my little caul-de -sac that has freeview :(
