Freeview reception at NW3 5TZ
For reliable and stable Freeview reception, you need an unobstructed path between the TV aerial on your roof and the digital TV transmitter. The map below shows the transmitters predicted to provide a signal at this location.
You can click on any transmitter symbol to show the coverage area as a green overlay on the map. Double click on a transmitter symbol to go to the transmitter information page.
You can also view the ten closest potential '4G-at-800' mobile phone masts within 1.5km of the selected location - these masts may be used for 4G-at-800 mobile broadband services from 2013-2015.
These icons show the potential locations for 5G-at-700MHz services that may interfere with Freeview reception. For actual mobile device reception prediction (at 800-960MHz and 1710-2170MHz) see these phone operator's mapping sites: Three O2 EE VM

I live at the bottom of a narrow valley that points roughly North/South (it's wider at the North end). Postcode is TA4 2HJ. My nearest, and predicted to be strongest, transmitter is Stockland Hill which is about 31km away to the SE. Beyond that is Mendip which is 55km to the NE.
I have installed a wideband antenna on my roof and I'm getting a pretty stable picture on CH26 (BBC1 etc.) with 100% signal quality but only 20% strength when pointing the antenna to the SW. On CH28 I'm getting 20% signal and quality but no picture. I can't seem to get any signal from any other direction on any other channels.
What's puzzling me is that getting CH26/28 suggests I'm picking up Stockland Hill which is to the SE but my antenna is pointing SW. I could just about understand it working 180 degrees out but not 90!
The only explanation I can think of is that I'm picking up a signal bounced off of the hillside. And because it's a lucky/spurious bounce I'm only getting one channel (if I move 100yds maybe I'll get 28 but not 26!).
Does that sound plausible? Any suggestions for what to try? I realise I'm not exactly in the best place for a TV signal!

You appear to be in a particularly difficult location, valleys are not helpful to TV reception especially is they do not enable sight of a transmitter directly. There are three possible transmitters around you, but all are 'hidden' by the valley. You've tried Stocjkland Hill and Mendip, the other is Huntshaw Cross - but that is to the west so again 'hidden' by the valley.
The only suggestion I have is to try raising your aerial as high as possible - but make sure it is safe. There is no guarantee that it will solve the problem though.
Aerials receive best in the direction of its main lobe to the front of the aerial, but they always have side lobes that can receive some signals - though usually not as well. That would explain what you are seeing with the aerial aimed in the general direction of SW - where there is no transmitter! It can only be a reflected signal which will be very variable and unreliable.
My brother lives in South Molton and gets good reception from Huntshaw Cross but he is not in a valley.

Hi, I've lost all Freeview channels, a few weeks ago (prior to that everything worked fine for years) but only now using a day off to try to diagnose problem. Booster is powered OK, but have connected tv direct to aerial in loft as part of system test.
I have tried to retune, with TV cable direct from loft aerial, using every combination of settings out of desperation (although I do know which settings are correct).
My aerial points to South Caradon Hill, as it always has.
Any suggestions please????
Thanks

Mick Caulkin:
Your location is not ideal for reception from any transmitter, but Huntshaw Cros appears to give a better chance of good reception - despite the hill between you and the transmitter less than 5km from you. There is also a similar hill between you and Caradon Hill. There are no reported problems at either transmitter, suggesting that you have a fault in your aerial system. Please check all connections and cables carefully and ensure there is no corrosion/oxidation of the plug/socket contacts.Also check for damage to the cable and ensure there are no signs of water ingress. If you have an aerial amplifier check that it is working correctly.

Is it possible to email me the operating instructions for my Luxor model LUX-PVR500-690 dtr? I did contact asda where it was bought in 2011 and they suggested you might be able to help, because they don't keep the records that go back that far. It hasn't been used for a while but it still works and I wantto give to my grandaughter for her sons bedroom. Any information you can send would be most appreciated. The man at asda said he thought either the Thomson or the Wharfedale DTR were very similar and one of those manuals might be able to give me some information. Look forward to your comments, kindest regards peter naylor
