I suggest you use the UK Coverage Checker, that is provided by the operators, at http://www.digitaluk.co.u…ker. Simply enter the full post code and a house number (if that is not available then enter a '1' instead). That will then show the available transmitters at the location given by the post code. That shows that is possible from either or . It also gives the direction to aim your and the being used.

The unexplained always does come back! I had problems again today with Channel 56 and this time really dug into the problem. Mostly I was getting high level but minimal on - odd and previously put down to or poor connections.

I now believe that what is happening is that my very local (1 1/2 miles) Lite is overloading my TV and blocking of weak such as c56. I have an ultra high wide band with a head preamp to get c56 from but I suspect it has a side lobe towards the local transmitter. Turning off the preamp improved c56 reception quality but made the signal so weak it was unreliable in that way. I have ordered an overlap blocking filter and this will do the trick. I doubt I am the only person to have this problem!

I am glad we seem to be making progress. You surmise that a side lobe of the very high is receiving unwanted signals is quite likely. However, just turning off the tunrns it into a high loss attenuator wioth much reduced feed. It would be better to take it out of circuit, even if only temporarily, and coupling the two coaxial ends together with a coaxial coupler, very inexpensive, so the signal is fed through in full. Worth a try?

Yes - I did do that and I think the blocking is stopped but the is now undesirably weak. It's a difficult balance. The filter should arrive today and that will be interesting to try. Annoyingly it's a DC blocker so I can't rely on the power from my Labgear distribution amp to power the head amp. Fortunately I have a separate power supply I can patch in.

:

Such problems are NEVER with the else many hundred of thousands of viewers would also be affected but none are reporting any such problems, So it a problem with your system. You are 50km away from the transmitter so you need to ensure that your system is in good condition and operating correctly as well as checking that you are tuned to the correct transmitter. So check all your aerial cables and all coaxial plugs/sockets by unplugging, examining and refitting. That should clear any possible corrosion/oxidation on the contacts which is a well known problem. Also check that you are tuned to the correct trasnmitter for your aerial, look at the alignment of it and check that against the bearings given on the UK Coverage Checker at http://www.digitaluk.co.u…ker.

Eamon:

Look at the UK Coverage Checker for your location, see Coverage Checker - Detailed View That shows there are some inherent variabilities with the Horizontal signals from . The vertical ones are not affected but that does not carry COM7 nor COM8.

It's worth checking all your connections and cables, unplugging and refitting any coaxial plugs and sockets to clear any possible corrosion/oxidation. Also check that you are tuned to the correct numbers and have a aerial in use.

Well, my Overlap Blocking Filter (a PROception proOBF1E) turned up yesterday but it seems to be defective! It is marked as having a Channel 39 to 60 passband but in reality channels below 30 come through strongly and channels 40 to 43 are entirely blocked (and these should be my PSB1 and 2 and COM4 channels!).

However, the problem on is fixed so I think I'm on the right track. I plan to speak to the manufacturer tomorrow... Why is life so difficult?

Since yesterday, my main tv keeps squaring and then showing as and I lose all the channels
I have retuned it twice.
Your post code checker shows that the should point to , which it does but, this TV shows when I tune it. There are other TVs in the house which correctly show London
Can you at all? Thanks
