I live west of Guildford on the north side of the Hogs Back. As a result we cannot get reception from the Guildford transmitter, which is on the south side of this large hill. Our aerial currently points towards London and we pick up signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter. However we lose the signal on a reasonably regular basis - this appears to be weather related, especially on clear nights. On most occasions the signal strength is good. I've looked at the map for the Hannington transmitter which is NW of us and it appears to provide reception to the north side of the Hogs Back. Would it be worth redirecting our aerial to Hannington?
