Below are all of Julian Morley's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.jb38: I posted a question on Friday 12 April, which no one has picked up. According to this website, I have a clear line-of-sight 55km to Winter Hill, but since the re-tune I have only a 7 signal strength on my 6-year-old Panasonic TV and the picture is unwatchable. My more modern digital recorder has a full signal and receives fine.
However, I gather from your posts and others that Winter Hill is now transmitting the key multiplex at a lower frequency, which doesn't propagate as well and which is now close to the limit of what a C/D group aerial will receive. Both of these are likely to reduce the signal actually received. Is this a correct understanding of what has been said?
If so, how do I identify a C/D group aerial? If it one, is the first step to change it?

Thanks - really appreciated! My aerial is at least 19 years old and is in the loft, so is at least 1m lower than many others in the area. (Obviously, I can't see the other loft aerials!) There is no obvious colour code on it, so replacing it with a Group E aerial would seem a good starting point.

Have DVB signal strengths in this area been reducing? Following the recent re-tune, I can now get no better than 7 on my 6-year old Panasonic digital TV and the picture is so unreliable as to be almost unwatchable. It used to be 10. My more recent digital recorder, on the same signal, is still getting 10, but I suspect it's more sensitive.
Can anyone help?
