Should you have an issue when the starts and the filter doesn't cure it, or you would like assistance fitting the filter, then at800 are the people to call.

peter tovell: Even although you are located at just under 4 miles away from the you would appear to situated at a very low angle to it thereby being under the main beam, this type of location being highly sensitive to any changes that might have taken place in transmission and which always has knock on effect as far as radiation angles are concerned.

I would suggest that you try moving your a fraction to the left or right, or even higher or lower, this frequently being found to rectify this type of problem.

My elderly relations live in BH23 and have set up by a local installer. For years they have suffered routinely a loss of on most or at least severe pixilation at regular times and often twice a day or more, e.g. between 3:30 and 5:30 PM but lately this can be at any time. Anyone suggest likely cause as I believe they do receive their signals from ?

Hi Dave

Thank you for your post & help. Ah I see what you are saying, sorry terrible at putting things into perspective, another classic Asperger characteristic, alas. I there wont be any & the 800 filter,I got yesterday, wont be needed. Although I did lose all BBC channels 2 days ago, but that might be due to the high strong winds we are having here. However if the filter is needed hopefully it will do the job. I guess its a case of watch & see what happens with this period and take it from there if need be.

In the last 10 days our Ch 61 (BBC etc) on the has been dreadful. We are in the LE4 1 area and have 92% signal strength but signal is 0% - 27% (varies rapidly). Ch29 however is fine (92% SS, 100% SQ). We have a recent (9 mths) and have had no problems until recently. I have done a software update on TV + full retune - made no difference. I know there is a retune planned at the end of May for Waltham but what is causing the problem now?

Toni B: Perhaps it is a combination of the trees and the traffic on Lymington Road, which intersects the path. I offer the latter as a possible explanation of why the varies at different parts of the day.

I say this because, in the direction of the , the ground rises before the water. See the terrain plot:

My Freeview | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice

Imagine if the transmitter were beaming out light. The line between it and the receiving is likely to be obstructed by objects on the ground. Vegetation and traffic change over time and so their effects on reception may change.

Chris: The problem you refer to is widespread and is in no way connected with your installation, as I reside approximately 14 miles away from the ( area) and have been forced to retune my PVR's to record the BBC from (@ 51 miles) because of the frequent glitches spoiling recordings.

Of course it has to be looked at from the angle that the mux that the problems are occurring on is the "only" one involved in the retune on the 29th when it drops down from Ch61 to Ch49, and so it would be rather naive for anyone not to connect the two as the change involves slightly more than just pressing a few buttons.

Toni B: In addition to the reasons explained by Dave Lindsay, all of being extremely valid! it would also be prudent to check if the installed at the property is still mounted horizontally or has been swivelled around to the vertical position? as transmits on both horizontal and vertical polarity, but with its "commercial " only being high powered on vertical transmissions, V 200Kw / H 50Kw.

I am of course not saying that this would cure the problems referred to as vegetation will interfere with RF signals no matter what the polarity might be, but if the aerial was mounted vertically it would give a slight edge in overall to that received on the horizontal plane.
