With a log-periodic aerial on the North Devon coast, I used to get some Caradon channels. Viewers in Woolacombe got reasonable reception from Caradon. I don't know if this is still the case. Sometimes signals from Huntshaw Cross broke up under high atmospheric pressure, possibly due to interference from France. Now that we are all more or less in Band A, I assume there will be greater congestion. My smart TV delights in automatically retuning when it thinks it has temporarily found a better signal from Wales. Very annoying!
This might be part of the Caradon enigma. Tuning with an older non-smart TV would clarify whether this is an issue.

Chris : The bad boy is a Panasonic. Their customer service confirmed that this wonderful feature cannot be turned off... We have another smartie which does allow turn-off. I can check models, if that would help.
Didn't have such embellishments in the glory days of 405 and 625 lines ...HNY to you, Chris!

There is a Planning Application for work on a local DTT/mobile mast here. I tried to contact the applicant company, but my email was rejected... The application graphics indicate changes to Kathrein et al, but with no reference to whether mobile and/or DTT networks. It would be interesting to follow up other planning applications relating to unspecified engineering work on so many DTT transmitters. There might be clues as to the networks involved.
