Firstly, do NOT give your address on public web pages such as this. Secondly, this website if independent of all broadcasters and has no responsibility for any changes to the TV transmissions.If you are asking for a reimbursement of the 120 paid to replace your aerial then you need to talk to Freeview directly.

Mick Caulkin:
Your location is not ideal for reception from any transmitter, but Huntshaw Cros appears to give a better chance of good reception - despite the hill between you and the transmitter less than 5km from you. There is also a similar hill between you and Caradon Hill. There are no reported problems at either transmitter, suggesting that you have a fault in your aerial system. Please check all connections and cables carefully and ensure there is no corrosion/oxidation of the plug/socket contacts.Also check for damage to the cable and ensure there are no signs of water ingress. If you have an aerial amplifier check that it is working correctly.

Please put your post code into the Digital UK Coverage Checker at http://www.digitaluk.co.u…ker. That will tell you what channels to tune to. It will also indicate whether your current aerial needs to be changed due to the frequency changes. If it does, contact the Freeview Help pages at Important changes to Freeview TV signals | Freeview

I know you are trying to be helpful, but there are several changes to the transmitters to allow for the 700 MHz clearance (for 5G usage). The changes affect different transmitters in different ways. That yours has not changes does not mean others have not.

Why did you connect the I/O modulator to an RF output? That output is meant to be connected via coaxial cable to a TV set/STB.
Does removing the modulator restore the services?

Put the post code of the caravan location into the Digital UK Coverage Checker at http://www.digitaluk.co.u…ker. That will tell you which transmitters are available at that location, the channels to tune to and whether to have the aerial mounted as horizontal or vertical polarisation.

I have done the research and the actual original data used by most climate groups. Ignoring the 'adjustments' shows that the trend is not upwards but largely flat for the last 20 years and before that it went up and then down again, but by very small amounts. Some of the data used is misleading, such as that reported at Heathrow as the gauge is alongside an area used for turning aircraft so the jet outwash plays onto the gauge! No wonder it gets hot!
Think back to when the 'theory' of the Earth being the centre of the universe, most agreed until it was eventually shown that the Earth revolved around the Sun. Just because 'most' agree does not make it true. That's why scientists should keep questioning everything. That's why we now have Quantum Mechanics as Newton's Laws only apply at the 'human' scale but not at the very fast.
Also think back to the late sixties and early seventies when we were being told that we were approaching a new ice age! Never happened and that was the spur to the Professor who started the 'AGW' scare to get funding for research nobody wanted to pay for.

Terry Argent:
If you look at the Digital UK Coverage Checker results for your location, given at Coverage Checker - Detailed View and shown from the blue box below your post, it suggests that Bluebell Hill might well be a better source. Crystal palace does provide 6 of the multiplexes adequately but not COM7 nor COM8 reliably. However Bluebell Hill provides all 8 multiplexes and it is expected to provide reliable reception. You will need a wideband aerial aimed at the Bluebell Hill transmitter on a bearing of 185 degrees. The 8 multiplexes are on channels 32, 34, 45, 40, 43, 46, 55 and 56.

Look at the graphs of CO2 and tempoerature against time. You will see that CO2 rises FOLLOW temperature rises by roughly 20 years.
QED.

Do you have a wideband aerial fitted? Without one you will have problems receiving some of the programmes from Sandy Heath transmitter.
