Choddy, just a thought as I pass through Bolsover frequently and know it is an excellent area for Emley and . It may be you have too much signal since , either via Emley, or from which had it's boosted at the end of November. Is your son's smaller than yours? Is your aerial boosted (shouldn't be)? 's link should you

Excellent on all except for the BBC. Reasonable signal strength, but break up and signal loss. Strangely, some of the OK channels showing quite poor signal strength.

John Proctor: Have you confirmed that it is tuned to (Ch47 for BBC) as there are several transmitters that might be received at your location?

If it is tuned to Emley, then you might have too higher level going into your tuner:

Hello Dave,
Living near Emley in not so sunny Huddersfield, I'm fairly certain the is aimed in the right direction, so not sure about picking up other transmitters.
Slight movement of the aerial changes things somewhat, so that BBC becomes reliable, but then at the expense of several other .
What can be the effect of "Too higher level". Don't have a tuner box, but a equipped TV.

John Proctor: Follow the link I posted for information on too higher level. It might be worth trying a variable attentuator.

The direction that the is pointing in does not necessarily have bearing on which signals a tuner decides to go with.

Even if it turns out that it isn't too higher signal level that is causing the break-up and the TV to report low signal (which can be caused by too higher signal), it might still be worth putting a bit of attentuation in there.

Presumably you mean "too high a" and not "too higher" which doesn't actually mean anything. I am bemused by the idea that the strength detection mechanism inside the TV or the would display a strong signal as a weak signal. The ones inside my Toshiba TV, my Humax recorder and my Icecrypt digibox all just give a percentage figure.

David Mansell: You are correct, I meant "too high a " and rather than "too higher signal". It means that the signal going into the TV is too high for what it can cope with.

If you look into at a very bright light for which the resulting effect is that you cannot see for a while, then that is because the amount of light entering your eyes is too high a brightness than it is designed for.

I live in Bradford and have a tv and ever since Wednesday 28th Dec I have lost a large amount of freeview . Ive done the suggest re-set/scans over the last two days but still cannot get the channels back.
Has anyone else in this area had problems?
