Hi I've had very poor signal fir over a week now and for the last 3 days I've only been able watch the BBC Channels. I haven't attempted a reset as you seemed to suggest to someone else that it could make it worse and I don't want to lose what I've got!
My postcode is NR21 9JY

Di Woodburn: You are just 1.4km from the transmitter, so you really need to examine your system for lose cables, etc, because it sounds like your signal strength would be very very low.
