Sudbury (Suffolk, England) Full Freeview transmitter
Tuesday 3 July 2012 9:03AM
Colchester

For years I had no issue or problem watching ANY Freeview channel from my location in Marks Tey, Essex .

Around three or four months ago overnight I lost a swathe of channels, leaving me with just 32 channels (19 tv,11 radio,2 text).

This was I discovered from these very pages, the next part of the Sudbury transmitter ongoing works, which would lead eventually to all the channels being restored on the 27th June......

June 27th arrived and hey presto...all channels restored to their former glory,although, on some of the channels the reception was initially iffy and a little pixellated, this gradually was ironed out during the day.

All was good until the middle of the following day when for no reason all the newly stored channels disappeared and once again I am left with just the same 32 channels I had prior to the 27th.

I have a wideband Arial and am asking anyone here with some knowledge as to why this is possibly happening.

If the arial is no good then why was it good enough for a day and a half following the power increase?

I have trawled the net looking for answers and it seems I am not alone in this despite Sudbury reporting no issues with their output.

Thanks in anticipation.

@ David C.... David, thanks for the heads up re transmitter work, I too hope that this is ironed out, it is not just affecting me, but neighbours also!

@ Dave Lindsay....Dave, thanks for the link, having read it and checked, as far as I can tell from each different device I have that can scan and tune Freeview, the signal coming in appears around 70-75% and is marked as 'Good' as opposed to the other two alternatives...poor or average.

Thanks both of you for taking the time to reply :)
