Hello,
I am used to having a few days of poor reception periodically over a year. I live at the bottom of a valley and reception can, on occasion, be difficult. I use the Mevagissey repeater for terrestrial TV. However, this year and specifically in the last 6 months, reception has been consistently very poor. Interestingly the BBC channels are first to break up and ITV channels the last to fail if indeed they fail at all.
I have had a full review of my aerial installation by a professional installer and they could find no problem with the equipment and had no better or more up to date aerial to offer that would improve things. Coming from a technical background I can only conclude that since nothing has changed at my end and that the equipment I have is operating correctly either there is a new obstruction in the path of my signal or a change at the transmitter. Weather conditions do have some affect. High pressure tends to cause me problems, but once they clear I used to get back to normal reception. Now, reception is almost always poor. BBC is impossible to tune. I have installed a satellitedish as an interim solution, but would very much like to resolve my aerial reception issue. My problem is further enhanced by a poor broadband speed and so on demand television is not a practical solution. Looking forward to any assistance,
Kind regards,
