The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

I have a dafty question a pick your brains sort of thing, Noticed a few times while flicking through freeview channels, that nearly all of them are on reduced signal. some are on half and the rest are on nil or only showing a little bit. picture and sound are still perfect, but just curious why??????

Could it be due to the weather or any future upgrades????

richard: Given that the EM mast supplies signals to 1.6 million homes, it seems - on balance of probability - that the reductions in the signal level are possibly more localised to your location.

There's some possibilities on the Freeview reception has changed? | Freeview Interference | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice page.

Arqvia are not permitted to change the signal levels from those agreed with Ofcom.

sorry for being a bit daft but, are u trying to tell me that the signals that i am receiving will not go back to full strength at all, but to as u say probably stay as it is?

How can it be localised in my area when im only receiving from em mast, and not beecroft.... no work is being carried out at all....

I used to have full signal on every multiplex, and now i haven't...

It has to be somet else surely.......???

richard: The most *likely* reason is that your aerial, cables or connectors have been damaged. Either by accident (inside) or by the weather (outside).

That's what I mean by "local": your home.

richard : Another factor that could be responsible is that the signal received from Emley Moor (@ 14.5 miles / 187 degrees) is seen to be obstructed at approximately 1 mile prior to your location, this meaning that the signal received is via an element of diffraction and which likewise can be affected by the surface condition of the terrain.

It was also noticed that a number of aerials in your area are observed as being vertically polarised as they are facing the local Beecroft Hill Freeview "light" PSB only transmitter located at just over 1 mile away, this being an indication that reception problems do exist in your area.

Brian, Given the recent high winds and copious amounts of rain we have been subject to, I suggest that YOU are correct.

Richard, consider your own safety and that of others, and please employ a qualified rigger to check the roof installation.

Your household insurance could possibly cover such damage.
