At Westbury Railway Station (road level) had always previously received all BBC stations, for a short period on Wed 27th had weak reception but today Thu 28th even after yet another rescan no BBC whatsoever.
How about an update as to what is going on?

Scott: I made an earlier report really area of BA13 4HP. The situation for this location remains unchanged in that whereas previously all BBC channels were received now none are.
Considering the amount of similar reports made here and the claims that transmitter/relay sites are all working correctly then only one conclusion is possible:
The change of transmitting frequency must mean that the new frequency is less able to overcome attenuation caused by obstacles and or (most likely both) is less able to refract.
This being the most likely cause of failed reception in many areas, it could only be overcome by either increasing transmission power or adding additional relays.

Don't understand why my post was prefixed "Scott:" please ignore that bit.
