Please check all the aerial cables and connections. Unplug all cioaxial plugs and sockets and then refit them. Then check what the signal strenf=gths are for all the multiplexes received. Ideally they should be between 60% and 85%, no more and no less.

No, that will not work at all and could damage both the digi box and the LNB.
If you want to watch Freesat, you need a dedicated satellite receiver into which you can plug the two coaxial cables using the screw-on 'F' connectors fitted to the ends of your cables. The TV would be fed via an HDMI cable from the satellite box plugged into one of the HDMI inputs of the TV set.
Or if you want to get Freeview, you need to have a suitable wideband aerial installed at roof level. That then feeds a suitable Freeview HD set top box unless your TV already has the Freeview HD facility (most do nowadays if it is fairly recent. An HD ready set will not give you all the channels as it does not have the decoder required built in.
Hope that helps?

You should be getting all 8 multiplexes from Hannington provided you are using a wideband aerial.
Check the channels you are tuned to by looking at the Digital UK Coverage Checker for your location at Coverage Checker - Detailed View Set the checker to show the Detailed view.

This is n ot the website for Movies for Men. It is entirely independent of all broadcasters. You should make your comments to the actual broadcaster on their own website as they will not see your comments here.

The reason is that your signal strength is far too high and overloading the tuner in your equipment. The ideal signal strength is between 60% and 85%, so please search thios website for 'Too much of a good thing' and then take note of the information and act upon it.

It is essential that you provide a full post code for your location. Only then can we see what the predicted reception is at your address.

|Richard Jones:
You have not provided the required full post code so we have no idea what the reception conditions are at you location.
Further, the type of problem you are reporting is never solved by retuning.

A partial post code does not help us contributors to find what the predicted reception is like at your location. Please provide a full post code.

Please provide a full post code so we can look at the expected reception at your location.
If you have 100% signal strength then you have too much signal and that will cause several problems. So that could be the root cause of your problems.
There is no fault reported for the Tacolnston transmiitter and no other viewers are reporting any problems.
The recent high pressure over much of the UK could have caused problems but that has largely moved away and there would have been nothing anybody could have done about the prerfectly natural phenomenon anyway.
