Freeview reception at HX3 0JX

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.

pete: No. The UK now has a two-tier . This is because there are two types of broadcaster.

The Public Service Broadcaster (PSB) transmit from the . There are over 1,000 other low transmitters which serve about 8.5% of the population which also only carry PSB channels.

As well as Public Service Broadcasters, there are now Commercial broadcasters (COMs) which have no obligation to provide a "Public Service", only make profit. For this reason they only broadcast from the largest transmitting stations and are therefore not "missing" from any transmitting as it is their choice as to which they serve from.

For a further explanation, see:

Londonderry (Northern Ireland) digital TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice

It is doubtful that you may be able to receive the full service (from another transmitter). As well as having inferior coverage due to not being carried from all stations, there are some who can only receive PSB stations reliably even though they are using a full-service transmitter. This is because the signals aren't as good as well as the frequencies they use being reused by transmitters in closer proximity than the PSB frequencies are reused.

The COM channels from share frequencies with the COM channels of , so at your location you "may" find that this rules out of the full service from the latter. That said, Rowridge's channels are vertically polarised and Stockland's are horizontally polarised.

See if any of your neighbours have aerials directed to Rowridge which is on a bearing of 84 degrees. Rowridge broadcasts horizontally and vertically now, albeit that the COM channels are better with the latter. The fact that someone has an pointing to it does not necessarily mean that they can pick up all channels.

You may give consideration to , particularly if you are unable to receive the COM channels.

Edwina Waters: Nothing has been indicated as yet on the fault reporting site nor is any work taking place, although in cases like this its always best policy to check with a neighbour just to make sure that the problem is not being caused by some glitch having occurred within your own installation.

By the way, you can check these two sites by clicking on "R+T Investigation" seen on the list of four choices on the right hand side of your posting, and with planned engineering works being accessed by clicking on " UK tradeview" and then by placing your pointer on "Help and advice" you will see planned engineering work on the bottom of the drop down choices

Response with thanks to Dave Lindsay and jb38
I will look at the next time I visit my relations and see if its both level and turned to either vertical or horizontal and in view of Dave's observations whether it is high enough, i.e. pole or bracket mounted? I was amazed at how regular the disruption was though bearing in mind location it was almost as if some nearby military or private system was being switched on for a period just like a sequence. Thanks anyway.

Becky: I would use a AM (MW or LW) radio powered from batteries. Tune it away from a and listen for any noise. Have it on at the start and end time and see if the start and end of the noise on the radio coincides with the TV breaking up, that way you know you are listening to the cause.

AM radios have a ferrite rod in which act as the . They are most sensitive in the axis perpendicular to their length. Hence, if you hold the radio with it facing you, when the sound is the loudest you know that it is coming from in front of, behind, above, or below you (or somewhere on that axis). Spin round to where it is at its quietest and the source of the noise must be from either end of the radio.

Hi JB38,
Thanks for the information. I found the cause of the problem - I must have accidentally pressed a button on the TV remote and found that it was not actually connected to the box. My fault and I feel a bit sheepish now, but thanks again anyway!
