I know, but I was receiving BBCB Mux ch 55 from Limavady perfectly for six days, then nothing, how is that explained? (54.90831,-7.67339)

I have a Televes Infinity 38 element somewher between a unix and a yagi. All the other muxes come in fine, BBCA is transmitted at the same power, and it's fine, my uhf meter gives the same signal strength for the two, and Fanad has not made any changes since the 24th.
I can see the Letterkenny transmitter out of my side window, 2 miles away, but that's on ch 53, and at 90deg to the aerial, I do get good reception from it, even though it's vertical polarisation. So That's not the culprit. Must be the 256 QAM as opposed to 64, so that's what I'll blame, still doesn't really explain it though.
Aerials and marginal uhf are a black art, I always thought, give me a tricky / weak satellite reception to get any day, way simpler to install.All you need is a big enough dish.
Good job I installed Freesat+HD a few years ago, faultless reception. (54.90831,-7.67339)

Are you sure he is actually receiving a 1080p transmission? Or has he just set the output of his receiver to 1080p. I'm not sure that anyone transmits 1080p yet.
I stand to be corrected. (54.90831,-7.67339)

I live in Donegal, and had perfect reception since last Wednesday, 24th, but since last night BBCB on ch 55 has disapppeared, the HD channels. The rest are perfect. What happened between Monday and Tuesday? (54.90831,-7.67339)
