I'm having problems with picture break up on some channels such as ITV via Sandy Heath. Been like it several days. Is it high pressure? If so will it happen everytime we get good weather? 100% signal strength and quality on many other channels such as BBC 1. Post code CB25.

coach: help please. Still having strange signal data from itv, channel 4 and 5. Other channels are fine often with 100% strength via Sandy Heath. Getting a lot of signal fluctuations. Going up and down like a yoyo with occasional breakup of picture. Initially I thought it was down to high pressure, although the situation is better than last week. Thanks. CB25 post code.

Can anyone help please. I'm losing reception on HD channels. This started last week and there was a couple of comments about high pressure. There is still high pressure but surprised there are few comments about reception. As such wondering if its my equipment. There are some confusing statements about Sandy Heath transmitter. This web site suggests possible weak signal, but this is not mirrored on the BBC or Freeview web site! I live near Cambridge.

Transmitter engineering: Looks like it's only on Mux BSP3. BBC4 HD fine.

Thanks MikeP,
Still got issue's with HD Bbc 1,2. HD BBC4 very good signal. SD channels good as well. Haven't retuned however I notice UK still under high pressure looking at todays chart. II'll wait and see what happens next week.

Can someone assist please? I've had trouble with the breakup of picture on some HD channels for several weeks. Signal jumping around from 60 to 70% with signal quality at 100%. Other HD channels where the picture does not break up is around 90 to 95% with signal quality at 100%. This Web site has reported that Sandy Heath "maybe" at reduced strength. What does that mean because neither the BBC or Freeview state this. Thanks

Thanks MikeP, All ok now. Just wondering why only 1 mux carrying the hd channels was breaking up? Thanks again.

Can anyone assist please. Is it possible that a specific mux may be more susceptible to atmospheric interference over another. Had problems with some HD channels and on Saturday it was particularly bad with picture break up. Now all fine again! Could it be a faulty tv? Im about to contact John Lewis.
