The symbol shows the location of the Hannington (Hampshire, England) transmitter which serves 470,000 homes. 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.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Hannington (Hampshire, England) mast?

More digging. So it looks like because I cant get 682.0mhz Hannington today, a retune finds me 537.8mhz from Crystal Palace.

Roger Whitman: Just to add the section that I didn't paste in properly, in situations such as yours its best to forget about auto-tuning and just manually tune in each of the muxes required.
However as far as Rowridge (@ 41mls / 164 degrees) is concerned I feel that I should point out that Hannington (@ 17mls / 76 degrees) is indicated as a better bet altogether, as from April 18th Rowridges commercial multiplexes dip into the status of being variable reception, and are seen to stay that way right into 2014.

jb38, Roger Whitman: The reason that the commercial multiplexes are shown as poor from Rowridge, from 18 April, is because Crystal Palace will use the same frequencies from that date.
Viewers who are affected are recommended to change the aerial from horizontal to vertical polarization - Rowridge commercial muxes will transmit greater power on VP than on HP. In Roger's case, Hannington is shown as an equally-good option, as jb38 said.

Mike Dimmick: Yes, I see what you mean Mike, and I suppose that using Rowridges VP is a good way around the problem should for any remote unforeseen reason Hannington prove less than satisfactory.

If anyone cares, 682MHZ is 'back' in Fleet, but only 35% signal strength. Roll on 4th/18th.

paul: Are you sure that what your neighbour was told regarding a strong signal isn't the very thing that's causing your own problems? I say this as BBC channels can generally be regarded everywhere as being the strongest, so purely to test whether they are or not in your case, if you have a set top aerial lying around plug that in and see if any BBC channels can be picked up.
The only reason for requesting this test is that the misleading aspect about an excessively strong signal is that it can give exactly the same symptoms to that of a weak one, this causing confusion to many as even if a signal strength check is carried out it can also sometimes indicate low, but this is caused by the circuitry used to measure same running on the verges of instability resulting in inaccurate readings being given.
Of course that being said, maybe it isn't the case of an excessively high signal, but no matter what as far as an aerial is concerned I would suggest using something like a modest DM log periodic type such as seen on the link provided, as anything larger generally has an adverse effect on reception in situations such as yours where excessive distances aren't the problem.

thanks again paul

paul: That test you carried out somewhat indicates that your signal is liable to be a bit on the strong side, as if your BBC picture had been breaking through the signal being weak then its very unlikely that anything at all would have been received using the set top aerial.
Another point you have to keep in mind is that the tuners used in TV or boxes of different manufacture can have wide variations in their performance, this why so many people with more than one device in their house frequently complain that a TV or whatever works in one room but not in another, as in cases like that if the devices used in each room were swapped over they would most likely find that the problem followed the device.
I would persevere with what you suggested as far as running a temporary cable is concerned as its really a case of trial and error, but as far as the two aerials on the cable end are concerned are these the same types as each other? and does one feed upstairs and the other down? as I wasn't quite sure if that's what you meant.
