Tim CO14: Yes, try an attentuator.
I was suggesting trying the other TVs/boxes on the loft aerial as a test to see if it works, not as a perminant solution.
Try the Goodmans box on the loft aerial and see if it works. If manual tuning is an option, try it.

Lou: What region were you watching previously and what region are you watching now?
What is the model of your receiver/TV that is causing the bother?

S MacLeod: That's a very precise bearing!
If the aerial at your house points to Crystal Palace (like your grandma's does), I would take the box there and tune it in. And then take it back to your grandma's and see if it works.
Alternatively, you might be able to manually tune it at your grandma's (without having to take it to yours). If it doesn't pick up the channels with a manual tune, then I would do as above, and take it to an aerial I know works.
Once it's tuned to CP, then don't re-scan (not until switchover). If you connect it to your grandma's aerial and it says "no signal", you know that it is not sited to pick up sufficient signal.
I would think that the solar panels will reduce the TV signal. What is the quality of the analogue pictures like?

paul: I guess that if you're receiving directly from Emley Moor in Keighley that you must be in the flats which means that the aerial is high up?
I think that the problem might be that your receiver has tuned to the signal from the Keighley or Keighley Town transmitters.
Is your aerial definately on Emley and not one of the Keighley transmitters?

Colin: I suggest that you carry out the procedure outlined here:
My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
