Below are all of Robert Hellier's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I am very sad that this has been already allowed... I am on Southern and Oxford regions...... No point keeping both anymore.. as they are both carry same BBC and ITV regional news..... very disappointing for example.... I am in the south I want to know what's happening in my area not Kent dover where ever else!! whats the point in paying more and more for TV licence when we are getting LESS and LESS value for money!

There is no point in having two different regional aerials any more as not worth wasting money and time on 2 regions as they WILL overlap... will cause more headaches and stress....stick to you own nearest region and forget the other. or go totally freesat.

I do agree with everything you guys telling me i fully understand this... but Joe Bloggs who got no idea how TV aerial and systems work... Thats why i say they Should used either Grouped aerial or Log aerial and just have One aerial for that max reception. Most people I know in Reading still have 2 or 3 aerials still linked up together.. But these sort of people who complain and moan...are the ones who is so tight in spending any money... I say well the option you have is disconnect the 2nd aerial and stick to either LONDON or Hannington.... cant have everything Unless your willing to Upgrade the combiners and mast heads... 99% of the time the aerial is fine just re wire it with PT or TX 100 cable with pure copper wires. that is the best option for some.... but open up your wallets to do it well and proper... I am on the aerial men's side it cost money.... live with it or with out... but don't moan at the guy if it does not work in your way.... sorry Rant over as i been moaned at and accused of being a con man and cow boy.. when i am not.....

Sorry guys Deaf brian took over didnt read they answers properly.... sorry... Yes I have upgraded the combiners to a Labgear F type solid metal with masthead covers.. and Upgraded the mast head and power packs... I have to say... I got all 3 regions from London, Oxford and Hanningtion with no problems..... just older boxes needs time and patience.. But the latest TV and Youview box and one other box.... once tuned in.... asks me Region? i select the Main one i want which is BBC and ITV southern.... London and Oxford is in the 800's.. why i did this.. if one region subtitles failed... go to another one its working there.. I know i am crazy with TV lol

MikeP: That is very true I have seen cheap HD sets 32" around 140 pounds... NO T2 tuners only T1... i think they trying to off load these sets.... and the poor customer gets conned thinking they got a bargain.... when it is not.....

I had 4 G masts upgraded allover reading made UHF anolouge signals for my old tv collection rendered 61 to 68 useless unless i put on signal reducer that sorts it out but leave all tv pictures snowy.... cannot do anything about it... will a 4 g filter be worth trying?
thanks for your time
