Can't say why, but over the last couple of days signal in my location seems a bit lower than normal - getting interfeence from passing trains particulalrly on Sky News 233, which I have not had for a long time.

There has been no change in the output power transmitted by Crystal Palace. Please provide a full post code so that we can check the expected reception conditions at your location. You could also help us by checking what the reported signals strengths are on all the multiplexes.

Angie Carter: You most likely either have a fault with your aerial system, such as a bad connections somewhere. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV and then work your way back as far as you can safely access towards the aerial. If you provide a full postcode we can check which transmitter you should be using, where you are in relation to it and your predicted coverage etc.

Is it possible to download the channel frequencies to a USB stick such that they might transfer to a TV, via its USB slot ?

A: I haven't heard of any TVs that can do that. What make and model do you have?

A:
The USB socket is only there to allow yopu to record programmes onto either a USB stick or a HDD connected via USB. It will not do what you are imagining as the software is not designed to allow that.

Andrew Benham: According to Digital UK, PSB3 is staying on UHF channel 30 at Crystal Palace, it isn't moving to 48 (there are no further frequency changes planned for Crystal Palace at all).

StevensOnln1: That's my understanding too. In fact, the only mention of channel 48 I've seen is on *this* web site.
