JB38: My post code is da12 1hp. Current aerial is set for Gravesend mast and has always had very poor reception in the 20 years the house has been in the family.
Similarly analogue reception for both bluebell hill and crystal palace in this time wasn't much cop either.
The cul de sac is in a bit of a dip, and my neighbours seem to experience similar problems. (51.4319,0.3746)

Glen R: Well the problem of being in a dip really (or maybe partially) says it all! as your local Gravesend station only indicates reception being possible on BBC1 until the 18th of April 2012 when stage 2 takes place, although Rouncefall (18mls) / Sudbury (43mls) does presently indicate good reception on the main multiplexes, these two stations being on a single frequency (SFN) - Mux Ch44(BBC1) - Mux Ch41(ITV1) - Mux Ch47(HD)
Crystal Palace (20 miles) Mux Ch25 (BBC1) as well as ArqA & B are also indicated as being possible, but in my opinion not at satisfactory levels to be relied upon.
As far as Bluebell Hill is concerned, only Mux Ch42 (ArqA) - Mux Ch39 (ArqB) and Mux Ch45 (MuxB) are shown as possible on a variable basis.
In your type of situation a person really has to try using different aerial positions, as the signal could well be found to be much better at one end of a building over the other end, and height doesn't always play an important factor either, something I have mentioned numerous times to various people in areas of difficult reception, as the chimney is not by any means always the best position, even if still on the roof!
