RichardS is also right about Oxford being closer but it is blocked by Wittenham Clumps and some trees, and gave poor reception when the aerial was first installed pointing towards it, particularly in windy weather. During the first stage of the switch I did get quite a good signal from Oxford eventhough the aerial was pointing in the opposite direction ( slightly east of due south) towards Hannington. Although much further away the ground slopes away to south and so no local obstructions in that direction.
I'll check the aerial tomorrow and send an update. It's possible I suppose that it's group C/D (for Oxford) and should be a group B (for Hannignton ) but as I say, it all worked fine before the switchover.

Hi
Following up on my previous post. I have a wideband aerial with an upmast amp. It looks pretty much like this
48 Element Wide Band Digital Tv Aerial
Any help on my poor reception probs much appreciated

Since the last digital switchover everything being broadcast from Hannington @ 25000 W i.e. com4, com5 and com6 has had poor reception with the images blocking out. Tonight it's even worse and I've lost these channels altogether. I retuned following the unplug the aerial first and then repeat the tuning and all these channels have gone. They were working fine before the the last switchover. This is very disappointing as i was expecting an improvement in the quality of digital broadcasting
