It's all better now.
Obviously this site is going back to it's old habit of being being intermittent without telling anyone.

Hi I am in Cwmaman in South Wales and my freeview picture is good but occassionally during peak programme times, the BBC and very occasionally Dave channels loose about 5-15 seconds of sound. This is very annoying during dramas, who dunnits and comedys as I have been missing the crucial elements for about 8 months now. You chart suggested there may a clash with vodaphone's 4G transmitter? What can I do now to get TV with uninterrupted sound? Thanks

Has anybody any ideas on the following.
Since having to retune to the Stockland hill transmitter a couple of week ago the BBCA group is Ok good signal strength & quality but the BBCB, D3+4, ARQB are only 7 out of 10 signal strength & 5 out of 10 quality. SDN varies sometimes good sometime poor & ARQA has disapeared.
Tried a booster only slight improvement. With current weather often the picture is breaking up or showing no signal except BBCA still good. I get similar but worse results if I try the Mendip transmitter.

Peter Sunderland: Before you re-tuned, did you have good reception from Stockland Hill, or were you receiving signals from a different transmitter, such as Mendip? Are you using preferably a group A aerial for Stockland Hill? This would usually be identified by a red plastic stopper in the end of the boom. Whilst reception as you have described can be caused by trees growing in the signal path and selectively blocking random frequencies it is also the kind of results that may be seen when using a group C/D aerial which could have originally been intended for use on Mendip frequencies. Not surprisingly the use of a booster does not improve reception of a poor quality or non-exiatant signal!

hi
This is not a problem but comments would be appreciated
My Freeview reception is great using a loft Ariel but my dab reception is very limited also with a loft dab Arial would I improve my dab coverage if I used my Freeview Arial instead

marie: This is probably obvious to most on here but I have this problem periodically and you have to re-tune your TV to get the ITV/4/5 back. I had to do this on both my TVs this week. I do not know why so maybe some-one clever can tell me why.
