Why am I unable to get the channels (such as Film on 4) in Dundee from the Craigkelly transmitter. When I do get them that are blocky and the sound is just sqeaks. Funnily when I tune into Film4 in the early morning, and the teleshopping is on, the signal is almost perfect. Also my new Sony Bravia shows a "no signal" message whereas other "simpler" tv's in the house get the broken picture described above. We have used the same aerial trained on Craigkelly for about 6 years and it was only sometime in 2011 that we lost Film4, etc., which till then were perfect. I have retuned all of the tv's numerous times but to no avail. We cant tune to the Forfar transmitter as we are on the wrong side of the hills North of Dundee, and the Taybridge transmitter doesn't carry the Film4 channel so turning aerial there wouldn't help. The roof mounted high gain aerial is (and always has been ) boosted through a mains power booster/distribution unit/ What should I do.
