I receive all freeview and ITV, channel 4 and 5 etc but not any BBC including digital radio. This problem started about 10 days ago. Strangely a pixilated signal appears at about 19.00 but then disappears by 20.30. Aerial is on roof. My postcode us TA51ED. I have tried retuning the TV many times and I have disconnected, cut about 2cm of aerial cable off and reconnected to a new front plate.

BobMudd: thanks but the transmitter us a local one for our village. Further investigation suggests that it is one Mux that I am not receiving. But again why can I receive it at 19.00 but by 20.30 it disappears totally? So I receive the Mux at 706 and 746 KHz but not the Mux at 778MHz. And why can I receive it for about an hour or so and then it goes off?

MikeP: TA51EQ and it is called the Kilve Transmitter. It is in Somerset by the way. The details to the site are part of ukfree.tv website. The site tells me there is nothing wrong with the transmitter. Oh, for no reason, no BBC suite of programmes all evening until 22.30. Watching it now in fact and all seems normal. What is going on? Thanks for your replies and interest.

Hi Mike.
No idea of how I would check signal strength so could you explain a little more what I need to do please?

Again thanks for your interest and help.

Hi Mike. Right now the unwatchable BBC channels gave a strength of 15-22, it varies as the pixillating stutters along. Actually the watchable other multiplexes only have a strength of 35. So so guess a new aeria?. It has been up there 20 years....... is that the answer?
