Freeview reception at PGSTAR T90
Terrain between PGSTART90 and Freeview masts
For reliable and stable Freeview reception, you need an unobstructed path between the TV aerial on your roof and the digital TV transmitter.The diagrams below show the transmitters you can get a signal from - in order from best to worst. The blue line tests the line-of-sight between an aerial 10 metres above ground level (the line is red if there is an obstruction in the line-of-sight). You may be able to improve reception by raising the aerial higher - for safety's sake consult a reputable aerial installer if you need rooftop access. See below the diagrams for advanced options including selecting the receiver aerial height.
The terrain information (from Ordnance Survey and GIS) does not include forestation (where leaf cover changes with the seasons) or city buildings. The line-of-sight line can appear curved as this straight line moves over the Earth's surface.
When you click on a diagram, you will see map with the location selected shown with this symbol:

ji: If it is a single aerial that feeds the three TVs then how does the feed (from the aerial) split?
If it's a powered amplifier (booster) then perhaps it has failed. The fact that its light is on doesn't necessarily mean that it is functioning correctly.
Yes, you can use a Freeview box on a non-Freeview TV. If the TV has a scart socket then connect it using scart. If it's older and doesn't have a scaty socket then you may need something else to connect it.

Interesting feature, the line of sight map - although I'm unaware of any raised object 5km away as indicated - it's all water. Perhaps the postcode area is sufficiently broad to include some locations that do experience some land at that distance, but for me it's all water beyond about 1/2 km. Straight line, yes, but the signal still vanishes when a lorry or a buss passes by :-(

A pigeon appears to have landed on my aerial which is causing the picture on my TV constant disruption. Anyone know the policy on the shooting of poultry?
