hello, thank for you reply. I am using the Rowridge transmitter, from your map above, my location is in the bright green area. It used to be fine before switchover. How could I check what the box is seeing?

hello Derek and Steve,
thank you very much for your input, that is very helpful. I tried the 'reset' several times to no avail, until I decided to unplug everything, and reconnect later. I tuned the tv on its own, and it worked (albeit not all the channels available before switchover). Retuned the DTR box. At least the two items are now talking to each other. My Bbc channels remain jerky, pixelating etc. Maybe high pressure has something to do with it. I too, find the change to vertical polarisation fascinating. Potential reception trouble?

Hello,
I have tried retune, tv is working a bit better but I have lost about 15 channels since switchover, TopupTV box isituation is worst than TV, and no matter how many times I retune, the box doesn't download nor records what it is set up to record. No signal popup appears now and then, while stil able to see some thing ( on some channels). I'm in BH20 DW, smack in the Rowridge green patch. BBC jerky, channels on tuners are 24 27 30 33 37, tuner 1 on 24 tuner 2 on 30 topup tv channels . I am at lost as to what to do. (50.6760,-2.2298)

Kim V : It seems there is no straightforward solution. The thing that bothers me and doesn't make much sense is that the TV receives the same channels as the toputv box (in theory), the TV is fine but the box is unwatchable and they share the same roof aerial. I am not receiving downloads and can't record since switchover. Before the switchover the situation was reversed, the box received better than tv. Somehow I suspect a software issue, but topuptv is useless. I was wondering if another box would work better.

Hello, I am in Dorset, near Wareham. Since the change to full digital early March, I am expediency many reception problems I didn't have before. Loss of quality on all BBC channels, no signal popup showing forever on some days, pixelisation, jerky image and sound. On the day I retuned, all seemed fine, the problems started on the next day. I have a topup TV account with a dedicated box that shows all channels, with the loss of quality described earlier. My TV set is less than 3years old, with all the modern trappings, but I have lost half of the channels on the day after retuning. (it was showing 125channels on that day). For several days I had 0 channels on the TV set. I Have lost most BBC, ITV, channel 4, 5 etc. I fail to understand why on the d day it was fine to subsequently end with the loss of reception? Can you help?
