That's certainly worth a try Dre as I mentioned in a response here to Darren on the 22nd May.

Since I last wrote, I was reluctant to fiddle with the aerial, I was resigned to the loss of COM7 and COM8 and their channels. Certainly lots of other people in the Reading area were similarly affected.
But now I've noticed that both COM7 and COM8 are available again on all our TVs. I think the signal strength has reduced a bit but we have the all-important quality back. Presumably the engineers have addressed the Berkshire black hole that the SFN had caused.

As you are only 31 km from the Hannington transmitter you should be getting excellent reception. It may be that with such a large high gain aerial and an amplifier that you have far too much signal, you do not want 100% but between 60% and 85% signal strength. Please check what strengths your TV indicates. If it is too strong try removing the amplifier.
Also check that your are coreectly tuned to Hannington, using channels 45, 42, 39, 40.43.46, 55, 56 and the local services on 32 and 34. You need a wideband aerial to receive all those multiplexes. That should be aimed at 247 degrees and have the small rods mounted horizontally.
There are also several mobile phone masts closeby so you need to be careful to avoid the signal they radiate, which would be seen as interference on your system.

Most of the time we have good picture and sound reception from the Hannington transmitter.
We are in a clear line of sight. Our aerial is correct and undamaged. In last 24 hours we have experienced
severe picture break up on many channels. Is this due to freak weather conditions?

That is difficult to tell as you have not given a full post code so we have no way of checking what the reception conditions are like at your location. There can be many reasons for the problems you report, such as too much signal or atmospheric inversion effects (which are not freak weather conditions but more common that some think and are nothing to do with 'global warming').
I would suggest you make two checks. Firstly check all your aerial cables and connections are in good condition, unplugging any coaxial plugs.sockets and refitting (to clear any possible corrosion/oxidation from the contacts). Secondly check what the signal strength is as reported by your TV set, it is usually on the manual tuning page but DO NOT RETUNE. The strength should ideally be between 60% and 85%, too little will obviously give problems but so can too much signal as it can overload the tuner.
There is a third possibility that you can do nothing about, atmospheric conditions due to high pressure can cause unexpectedly long distance propogation of other signals that can interfere with your TV reception. As that is a natural and well known phenomenon there is no cure other than patience until the weather patterns change.

Hi there,
we have a problem. Every year at this time we experience a fault which lasts for around six weeks. At 9pm (plus or minus half an hour) we start to lose Freeview channels, most usually Dave, Yesterday and so on, but not the main broadcasters (BBC, ITV, C4, C5 and their sub-channels are all fine, as are the HD channels). The picture starts to pixelate, the sound breaks up and then the signal drops off a cliff for three or four minutes, then it just returns for ten to twenty minutes. This lasts for up to an hour.
We have no timers in the house, no central heating, very little tech at all near the TV. There is no street light outside and we have no near neighbours. Pos
If you could give me an idea of what's up and a possible remedy I'd be very pleased.
Cheers,
Dave (Post code RG28 7SD, Apsley Ridge)

Are there works being carried out on the transmitter. As of 21:00 on 28.10.18 there have been interrupted signals and now 22:30 no signal at all. Post code GU47 0XR

T March: There are no faults showing and it is rare for engineering work to be carried out overnight. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?
