I live in the GU22 postcode and have around 5 years ago had professionally installed Freeview aerial and 1 to 4 aerial distribution amplifier(Labgear).
The DVB-T signal from Crystal Palace has usually been good with no drop out, signal strength shows 60%, quality 100%. I now own a Humax HDR-Fox T2 and am unable to get any DVB-T2 signal on Ch. 31. I have tried the Humax at a neighbours and the signal there is very good.
Is there any simple reason Ch 31 could be being blocked or severely attenuated?
Thanks

Freeview seems to have disappeared completely from crystal palace transmitter. Analogue is fine but 2 separate aerial systems show no channels at all? Any one else got this problem

According to the maps we are in the Sandy Heath area however, as with two-thirds of our street, the roof aerial is aimed at Crystal Place with rear pointing at Sandy Heath.
Until now Freeview always had Sandy Heath placed in the 800 series being secondary to Crystal Palace. However now it places BBC 1 & 2 Sandy Heath first and BBC 1& 2 in the 800's. I thought this was due to the TV tuning up through the channels but Crystal uses Ch25 and Sandy Ch27. I've tried retuning several times.
I note that a number of others seem to be having problems with Crystal. I'm guessing that Sandy is now on full power whereas Crystal won't be until next year and that this is the cause. Probably the situation could well revert back to where was it was when Crystal goes full power?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
