jb38: can't speak for cake, but on my 2 TVs the signal strength and quality both show as 0% for channels 50 and 49.

jb38: Hi. Yes I followed your instructions re going into manual tuning but not starting a scan. I'm at M29 8DT. Thanks.

Thanks jb38. You're right, all the houses in our immediate area have their aerials on long poles, so I guess we're not in the best place to receive these signals. I'll ask around the neighbours, see if they're having the same problems.
I was interested to hear the new channels (49 & 50) are at the lowest end of the operating range. Why on earth would they move BBC & Sky News there?! Why not shove Pick TV or some of the other cr@ppy channels in there? Why would they choose to move the channels that folk watch the most?

Dave Lindsay: that sounds about right, it is quite a steep hill. So the hill and the houses on Alexander Street etc are in the way of the signal?

Thanks Dave. So basically we're stuffed. Our options are:
a) move house
b) add two storeys to our house, thus lifting the roof to the level of the houses up the hill
c) get a ridiculously long aerial pole
d) get freesat
e) get sky multiroom

jb38 & Dave Lindsay: thanks for all your advice guys, even though some of it is slightly more technical than my brain can handle :)
I appreciate you taking the time to assist.

I've lost BBC, Sky News etc as well, on two different TVs. I've tried all the suggestions on here, nothing has worked. Wish they'd get this sorted out, getting v fed up with it now.
