I live in Hythe and receive my tv signal from the Basingsotke direction. Since tv change over there has been poor or no reception in the early mornings 0600 to 0900. Later in the day there is good reception. Is there any reason for this caused by work at the transmitter?

The problem is probably caused by changing atmospheric conditions during the day - particularly over Winchester. You've only just got line-of-sight to Hannington and you might do better to get your signal from the vertically polarised transmitter at Rowbridge.

Richard,
This is precisely why I am so curious. There appears to be no reason why ArqA and ArqB should be different at all, however with ArqA we get virtually perfect signal, with ArqB when we pick them they tend to appear perfect for approximately 30 seconds. At that point they start to break up and within seconds they are unwatchable - they stay this way till you change the channel and come back.
Thanks for any thoughts (I am writing this with my laptop on my knee, which means it cannot be the laptop (I didnt have a reason but thought it might be something tod o with it((

I'm Highclere: RG209RY 6 miles from Hannington, loft, log periodic, direct line of sight, 100% signal quality most of the time. Suddenly at weekend I lost ITV1, ITV4 etc. on mux 2 and my Humax 9200T has retuned, very unhelpfully, to Crystal Palace which is "blocky". (Amazing I get a picture at all from CP at that range). Done another retune and it's still finding CP in pref. to Hann. again on mux 2 and tuning to that. So my question is, is this a Hannington "Engineering works" and/or glitch issue or an issue with my Humax trying to be too clever and messing me up. Thoughts welcome :-)
p.s. The manual tuning process on this beast is an absolute nightmare, since it doesn't give you the ability to choose between two or more signals from different Tx's it just picks the first one it finds.

Simon: Are you sure that its a 9200T? as it only has an automatic "software" updating facility and not channel updating.
However, you should try removing the aerial and follow this by carrying out an auto-tune for purposes of blanking the tuners memory, then once complete reconnect the aerial and on the options of the left hand side of the screen select "installation" (password 0000) and then select "manual" tune.
You will see a channel number entered in the bar on the top, click the right arrow on the large centre selection button and the channel numbers will now appear, then using the up down arrows run up or down the list to Ch45 and press OK and the number will then be in the box, immediately it does the signal strength / quality of that channel will appear and so using the down arrow select and press search.
Once done select to store.
Repeat this process until all five muxes from Hannington are captured and stored.
Channels used by Hannington: 45(BBC) - 42(ITV) - 41(ITV3) - 44(ArqA) - 47(ArqB)

Simon: Meant also to add, that whilst in the installation menu you should disable the auto software update facility as well as the regular same, that being the one that has 4.00 as the default setting.

Roof aerial aimed at Hannington. Sometime in September I lost all HD channels on my LG TV built-in Freeview HD. No amount of retuning will bring them back!!
Tried manually retuning and all channels show signal strenth of circa 98% & quality of circa 100% except channel 39!! Signal strength varies between 0% & 58% and quality 0% & circa 2%.
Prior to this I was receiving all HD channels perfectly. Checked the aerial and it does not seem to have moved.
Spoken to LG and they think it is down to the transmitter, which is undergoing engineering work.

I live in Reading and my freeview has been on the blink for about 3 weeks now. it is so bad we cant watch it. it's really crackly and cuts out all the time or has no sound. Have checked wires and unplugged/re-plugged everything and it has no effect. Is there something wrong with the transmitter at the moment. We're east of central Reading.

I have recently started to get additional channels to the limited selection from the Haslemere repeater. My TV labels these channels 800, 801, etc. which are poorly received BBC MuxA channels on UHF channel 45. The only near transmitter with MuxA on 45 horizontal polarized is Hannington. It seems unlikely that I am receiving borderline transmission from Hannington as my aerial is pointing North from Camelsdale and is vertical Polarized. But where else could the signal it be from? could the polarization be rotated by glancing reflection from a hillside?
