Heathfield (East Sussex, England) transmitter
Saturday 16 June 2012 10:13AM

morning,

I live in Sutton Valence - we take reception from Heathfield (about 20-25 miles away but in direct line of sight from the ridge here). We have a 'main' television with freeview feeding off a rooftop aerial via a booster - the freeview is still fine following the switchover. We also have two other TVs taking a signal via an aerial in the loft, again through a booster. Upto a couple of weeks ago reception was perfect then BBC1 and 2 started to drop out (maybe around the 30th May - not sure if that's relevant?) and then on switchover day we lost pretty much everything...retuned but reception is too poor on nearly all channels (except for the likes of QVC, which is just tremendous...). Can anyone advise whether this is a case of waiting for the 27th before things pick up again please, or might there be something more going on? Thanks for any advice.

Dave - many thanks for your very detailed feedback...I'll check that we're tuning to the right channels for Heathfield (although I'm pretty sure we are) then remove the boosters and see how we get on. Thanks again.

Just to sign off on my string for the benefit of anyone in the same position as me - Dave; you were absolutely right...the booster was the problem and all channels are now fine (including QVC, but then you can't have everything). Thanks again for your help.
