Richard: That multiplex is on the highest frequency and the most temperamental, if any of the muxes go down, it will be that one, it is a pain in the *. If I use a wall plate instead of the aerial cable straight to the set, that mux [only] goes down, if it foggy, it goes down, if it sunny, it goes down.....

It is long overdue that those who have to suffer 'freeview light' have a say in what we get, ie scrap the advert channels and give us Drama and ITV 3

no signal on any channel from Sudbury lately, doubtless the poor wee thing knocked out by fog

so, I get a large aerial to pick up the main transmitter for Suffolk, Sudbury, as opposed to freeview light from my local relay, then lose Al Jazeera from channel 133 and find I cannot get it on 108. Brilliant, another clever move, freeview!

thanks, JB, but why is Sudbury exempt from the new multiplex? It is not a relay, supposed to offer full service. Why also has Aljazeera left us in the lurch by vacating 133?

I am not pleased that Sudbury describes itself as main transmitter yet we no longer get Al Jazeera. This is a misleading description.
I went to a lot of trouble to pick up this transmitter as opposed to our local 'light' one and now it fails to do what it claims.
Why does it not carry the extra muxes?
Why could not Al J start using channel 133 again so we can see it?

over the last few days we have regularly lost ALL multiplexes on all tvs on all aerials. This is doubtless due to the Dutchmen who have been blotting out Sudbury for decades. Do those who constantly advertize the 'benefits' of freeview not take this on board?

Hi Richard,
Humax! But have cheaper ones which are no worse.

Use Sudbury with super aerial as local xmitter is 'light.'
Near 100% signal/quality, all muxes, but gets knocked out entirely at the slightest cause, Dutchmen, rain, fog.
Not impressed, used to get interference on analogue, but never 'no signal.'

thanks, Richard, but would think if that were so it would be all the time, whereas my problem is weather related, and the signal and quality drop to zero.

It is not the music which is the problem, it is the shouting and screaming of a seemingly moronic audience who laugh and shriek at each and every unfunny line in so many audience participation and 'comedy' programmes. It is so intensely irritating that my choice of tv is severely restricted. This household is stuck to BBC 4, whatever is on.
