Wenvoe (Cardiff, Wales) Full Freeview transmitter

Hello there. Reading through your interesting and very helpful site, thought I would also like to ask a question if I may.

My elderly Parents live Brackla, Bridgend and have an extended pole roof top mounted arial facing Wenvoe. Their picture was always perfect on all channels UP TO (they believe) around January/February this year but since this time various channels have become unwatchable, mainly channel 3, ITV3, Quest due to pixelation with a poor or even complete loss of signal.. other channels also affected but not so bad. ~ Therefore 2 weeks ago, parents decided to upgrade arial and had a brand new Arial installed (horizontal) with new booster, yet no difference in quality of channels. Installer was duly called out again but was unable to resolve only suggesting they maybe purchase another even bigger arial. I visited parents 3 days ago and re-tuned set but no difference in quality, I checked connections etc as best I could and all appeared ok. Was wondering if 4G testing etc could be implicated in any way from the start of this year?. Any thoughts gratefully received. Regards, Jonathan

Hello all. Very many thanks to all for taking time out to come back with your support. I will most certainly pass your helpful suggestions onto parents so they can put them to the installer when he's recalled back out. Obviously my hunch of 4G interference was incorrect, yet I hadn't considered a building or one at an angle affecting the signal, this could well be the source of the problem as a building further up the slope has had a large roof extension built.. so if vision can't be improved then maybe freesat may be the easiest way forward.
Thanks for running a super site, shall certainly recommend, Regards Jon
