MartinR:

Did the 'engineer' actually change the fitted to the estate? If not, he should have fitted a aerial and then reset any filters fitted to the aerial system so they will allow all the currently used to pass through to the residents' flats/apartments. The management organisation needs to call them back and insist on further remedial work as detailed above and checking in a selction of the flats/apartments served via that aerial system.

Mike P: Thanks for your comments. I will get in touch with the Management company to see what is happening. I don't know if he changed the system. He certainly checked in my property and was surprised that I couldn't receive the .

My recorder does receive the stations, but it has never been able to receive a satisfactory HD signal, the just breaks up in 'Joseph's Multicoloured Dreamcoat' !
