2 x Roof aerial .Main aerial serves the Living room TV. Second aerial serves a tv at the rear of the property. both aerials fitted with signal boosters and are using the Belmont transmitter. The main aerial has 4 inline filters fitted by Freeview engineers due to interference. as of now we are unable to receive a picture or retune due to pixilation on all channels with the main aerial. The second aerial is also pixilating but not to the extent of the main aerial. Pixilation has always been a problem mainly affecting the BBC channels and some of the higher number channels. But for the last week we have been unable to receive a decent single and as of now all channels are pixilating. What is the solution as this is most unsatisfactory. I await your response.

Paul Cook: There has been engineering work going on at Belmont this week, which will have necessitated running the transmitter at a lower power level and/or broadcasting from a reserve antenna which may have reduced coverage whilst the work is taking place.
Were you given an explanation as to why you have so many filters fitted? 4 in line seems quite unusual and would cause the signal strength to reduce each time it passes though another filter.
Your postcode is not predicted to get a strong signal from any transmitter (Belmont appears to be best of the lot) so it might be worth considering getting Freesat if this is a long running problem.
