Dear Reader,
My Post Code is: CM3 5GN & OS Grid Ref. is: TQ339712.
I would like to purchase an appropriate terrestrial aerial (external & without booster) to receive Freeview signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter. Would you be kind enough to either recommend an appropriate aerial specification or a Manufacturer & model number please.
With my kind regards,
John.

I've recently lost a lot of channels and only have BBC1, BBC2, BBC News Channel and a few others. I've rescanned and still cannot get the other channels.
Has there been any work done or issues with the Crystal Palace transmitter?

HD TV signal is lost every time a train is passing by my building who is right next to the rail tracks.
I use indoor digital areal with amplifier, One For All SV9215 and Freeview built in the TV.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to resolve the problem, I live in SE23
Thanks

Dan A: Unfortunately, there really isn't any way of getting around this problem except by mounting the aerial as high as possible, even, as a temporary measure, the one you are presently using if its suitably waterproofed, e.g: covered by such as a good quality freezer bag.
