With respect to my previous post, I found another website Digital UK | Home saying there was planned maintenance a day or so prior to my post. I'm apparently using the CARADON HILL transmitter & this same website says: 'Planned engineering work this week (15-10-2018) on 22 main transmitters and 89 relays'. My area says weak-signal.
So a lot of conflicting info out there & on this site..grrrr. Anyway the reception is still all over the place, good & bad on same day. I have four tv's in the house, the only one that seems to be fine most of the time is the main lounge tv, that one had an aerial-booster fitted, so I might get a few more for the other tv's.

Can anyone confirm signal strength in the Ivybridge area. I've been getting sound & picture intermitent interrupts with that awful high pitch sound squeak today (02-10-2018). This has happened a few times now over the last month or so. Is there a map or website that shows any maintenance works etc.

Hi Mike,
I checking again on Digital UK - Coverage checker with my post code, like you said as I type. There are two areas I'm checking, PLANNED MAINTENANCE & RECEPTION FORECAST & RETUNE DATES. It says, Planned engineering work this week on 22 main transmitters and 106 relays. When I looked at the detail, CARADON HILL isn't listed under Westcountry, so I assume all is o.k.
However, looking at the RECEPTION FORECAST it says under standard reception, GOOD for 21 CAHNNELS. Then under a tab below that, a tab called, CHANNELS AVAILABLE AT YOUR ADDRESS, which gives more detail. Under general entertainment only, I counted about 69 channels of which 17 channels are only rated GOOD = GREEN DOT & the rest, POOR/NO RECEPTION = BROWN/RED DOT.
So not so good after all for today & all still a bit confusing. The only thing which looks good is the retune date around APRIL/JUNE 2019, where all the channesl seem to have GREEN DOTS.
