I wonder if Tacolneston's signal will change at the extreem distance, when the old mast is knocked down - it is a little to the west of the new one.
I assume the delay, is for transfering other services such as radio from the old, to the new mast?

The strange thing is here in Brandon, the fringe of Sandy - there is no difference in the signal strength on C31 or C27 & both are solid no breakup on the channels - odd

Don, where are you? - have you upgraded your aerial? If you have an old group A aerial, that will cause your problem. You may need to upgrade to a wideband & perhaps replace the co-ax if it has been there many years.

Hi Rob
Yes, there was a "Lift" on at the weekend, this is going to be much more of a problem on Digital that Analogue, as with the later, there is a gradual appearance of horrizontal lines, before the picture vanishes - with digital, there is no such warning - just "No signal" . IT would help, if the program providers announced BEFORE it happens, say between progs, that there is a likelyhood of interfearence due to the weather - but as ever, no warning at all!

Brian, I am afraid you are seeing the rotting away of a corrupt corporation that is the BBC - is is a gravy train fast running out of track.

Brian, I think if anything I made an understatement regarding the BBC gravy train, next week will feature the Duel between Patten & Thompson, this will lead to further revalations about the "Corrupt corporation" - my prediction is the BBC as we know it will be on it's deathbed by 2015 & will be finished by 2017, perhaps replaced by a smaller, leaner PSB.

TO Anyone getting poor freeview reception at the moment, this may be caused by local tree leaves in the TX direction dying & wet, but still hanging onto the trees - once they blow off, things will improve. Yet another weakness of Digital TV.

Hi KMJ - so C48 & C52 are now on 170KW, I guess the official details must be out of date, as they are still listed as 20KW.
