Rachel in Wiveliscombe, near Taunton: I can no longer receive Al-Jazeera English, as it has been moved to channel 108 which is not transmitted from Stockland Hill transmitter. Even though this is reported as having no problems, this is a big problem for me! The only advice I have found is to try and receive it from another transmitter by moving the aerial, but when I click on the list to see which one to try it does not come up. Also I doubt this would work as we are in a very hilly area - I think the next nearest one would be Mendips. Who can I appeal to? I feel very angry as the service before on channel 133 was perfect. Who has decided to change the availability of this station? Would it be resolved by going back to non HD reception? How come BBC channels can be watched on both non-HD and HD channels. It is very frustrating and wrong to discriminate in our choice of TV channels without any consultation. Thankyou.

Rachel Gundry:
If you give a full post code, you and I could look up where you live and hence suggest which transmitter might be worth trying. Mendip is a full service transmitter so tranmits most channels, but some commercial channels choose not to transmit from all the main transmitters and very, very few of the 'light' transmitters - it's a matter of cost/benefit for them.
Wiveliscombe is not a great place for signal reception but a lovely small town and well worth a visit IMHO.
As an aside, it is worth using the pages on this site for your current transmitter, this one is intended to coever issues with reception, etc from the Belmont transmitter in North Lincolnshire, between Louth and Lincoln. It is, therefore, not the ideal page to get information from for your area.

Angela Thompson: the William Hepburn's tropospheric ducting forecast for Europe shows that it is highly likely that reception in Eastern parts of England is currently being influenced by signals from The Netherlands and/or Germany. I noticed yesterday morning on FM radio that there was a radio station playing German music on an adjacent frequency to BBC Radio Derby received here in South Yorkshire. Reception should return to normal when there is a change in weather conditions.

Will snell: Since Belmont has no reported problems, its probably your system. Check cables, etc - probably a connection has failed, etc.

Hello I recently had freesat installed I'm wondering if I have a good signal or not and I have had problems with my box freezing and stuff . My signal level at the lowest is 80% signal and 100% quality. But on some channels it's 91% signal and 100% quality where's the rest are 80 % signal I have had a little break up but it's rare and only happens for a few seconds on freeview i got break up all the time . I'm also wondering if there's any plan to put home channel and Dave and quest on freesat in the near future? .

I'm worried because I thought signal strength should always be 100% as well as quality.

Dave:
For Freeview, your signal strength should never be 100%! It is better if it is between 60% and 80% but with quality as high as possible. On Freeview, a strength of 100% is almost certain to give picture and sound problems as it is too strong.
Freesat does not come from the Belmont transmitter but from a group of satellites in geo-stationery orbit above the Equator, roughly over East Africa. A dish is required for such reception, so I assume from your post that you have a dish and suitable Freesat receiver. Again, 100% signal strength is not ideal and is very rare, but the quality should be as high as possible (noting that a stronger signal may actually reduce the quality!).
