Bharat: It probably won't cause a problem but I suspect it isn't giving any benefit and so is surplus to requirements.

It had crossed my mind that you could use the Commtel (2 Way "Blister") in the , at least temporarily until a replacement for the other is found - if it is found to be at fault. However, if the connectors aren't the usual type found on TVs then it won't be suitable.

As far as the tuning goes, you need to get the TV tuned again. Manual tuning, if it is available on your set, will allow you to input the UHF () and should give an indication of strength/, this usually before you press the button to .

For the , which is that you are using, BBC is on UHF channel 55 (746MHz) and ITV/C4 is on (754MHz). The other definition are 54, 59 and 50 (738MHz, 778MHz and 706MHz respectively). If it's a HD set then also needs tuning (which is 770MHz). This might be a quicker route to sitting and waiting for it to run the automatic tuning everytime do something different in an effort to restore service.

Bharat: If you're using the 2-Way to split the and send it 2 ways then maybe it serves a purpose.

Russ Dring: Sorry I just noticed you have given a location! If you have a group c/d on , then a aerial is strictly speaking necessary as the new Com 7 and 8 are in group a frequencies 30-38.

Bad or no in surrey/hants area.

2-3 days ago the already bad reception in our area(GU35 8) got steadily worse and broke down completley last night on virtually all frequenies. Now it is ALL frequencies!

Is there eng. Work going on around here?

John Plumtree: Unfortunately, evidently so. This is because your is probably a Group C/D one which means it is most sensitive to frequencies in the top third of the ban, which is where 's has been up to now.

The new quasi-national HD has been fitted in on a previously unused portion of frequencies which are well below those of C/D, hence a aerial might prove necessary.

(and for that matter) should, on the strength screen, be shown as being tuned to UHF channel 31 (554MHz), this being the broadcast from Winter Hill.

An (booster) might. If you have one fitted and it is variable it might be worth increasing it a bit to see if of the new HD mux improves.

If you do get a wideband aerial it should be a log periodic, without question, rather than a yagi.
