Hi since the freeview request to re-tune my tv on October 4th I am having pixelation freezing etc.
I receive frview from Craigkelly transmitter CentralScotland Before the retune all channels were excellent.
Now all BBC Channels are fine but all programs on channel 24 are unwatchable.
These include stv itv ch 4 ch 5 etc have tried factory reset and auto tune several times but problem remains my signal strength and quality are both near 100%
Any help would be appreciated
Regards Phil

Phil Glen:
Just to confirm the channels I receive from Craigkelly transmitter are
21, 24, 27, 29, 31, 32, 37, 55, 56
As I mentioned earlier all. BBC channels on 27 have no problem .
The programmes on ch 24 ie STV ,all itv ,film 4 ch 4 etc all have occasional break up of signal.

MikeP: Thanks for that Mike I will check these connections. I have since found a masthead amplifier in the loft and wonder if my signal is too strong as I have 100% signal and 100% quality could this have anything do do with the problem.

Phil Glen: Hi Mike the connections seem ok the aerial cable is connected to a Wolsey amplifier in the loft which feeds four TVs and all are F plug connections .

Hi I have a tv signal of 94% and quality 100% since recent retune at Craigkelly transmitter which causes pixelation problems on occasion.
Can you tell me what attenuator I.e. 2db 4db 6db etc. I woulld require to achieve an acceptable signal.
