Ah, it did that one. Every time I have tried in the last few weeks it told me there was a fault. Never found out why.

I have recently installed a very large aerial with booster to get Dover here near Felixtowe, I like analogue! Whilst the signal is first class, normally, there are times it fades to almost nothing, then slowly returns, over a few hours, to how it was. Any ideas why it varies so much? I am also curious why C4 is weak. I could understand ITV being weak as it is out at ch 66, but C4 is mid group, along with BBC1/2

Nick: Please have a look at Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - but the problem is more likely transmissions from Holland causing problems.

Thanks Brian,
Still Holland? They are a pain, I thought now they were all digital it would have put an end to it.

Strange how C4 is almost always weakest, except the rare occasion it is stronger than ITV and BBC2!
