Waltham (Leicestershire, England) Full Freeview transmitter
Thursday 8 December 2016 11:53AM

Hello. I am having problems with my reception - I get an error message which says that there is no signal or the signal is too weak. I am using a Humax digibox, but also get breakups and intermittent 'no signal' messages when using the Freeview tuner in the TV. I am in Nottingham, postcode NG11 6JL. From the posts above it sounds like there has been some weather-based interference on the Waltham transmitter lately, so perhaps that is the source of my troubles too? I've never had any problems with signal before. I've checked all cables etc and everything seems fine. Any advice/thoughts?

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for your reply. Good in some ways to hear that it's probably nothing to do with the transmitter. Have checked the signal and the strength is 76%, quality 100%. The Humax has three tuners, though, and that only applies to tuner 1 - tuners 2 and 3 have 0% for both quality and strength! I'll try taking the system apart and putting it back together to see if that has any effect.

Hi Mike,

Yes, I thought that was very strange indeed! I suspect it is a fault with the box (or perhaps with the connections between the box and the tv), because the aerial etc seems to work perfectly with my old Humax box (9200T). Argh, how annoying!
