David: Possibly.
However the COM channels (those that don't broadcast from the Haslemere relay) are at half-power to the PSBs from Hannington. Also, so they can get more shopping channels in, they use a less robust mode. This is akin to being more fragile than the PSBs. So don't get too excited.
Unfortunately the Haslemere relay uses the same three channels as Crystal Palace uses for its COMs which "may" have otherwise have been available.
If you decide to have a shot at Hannington, then without doubt, you need a Group B aerial:
Hannington Transmitter
Reception could be intermittent because you're receiving over the brow of the hill.
Haslemere relays Midhurst which carries BBC South and ITV Meridian Southampton. Hannington carries BBC South and ITV Meridian North. "If" you can receive the COM channels from Hannington, you could combine that aerial with the current one to give you the ITV Meridian Southampton and the COMs.
It really is a long shot and I'm not an aerial installer so I wouldn't like to comment on your chances other than to say that you will be lucky if you do get them!

Hi,
We seem to have had all our BBCA (multiplex) channels become heavily pixelated and the sound badly affected too, such that the whole program stutters to a freeze, since 17th Nov. I'll check with the neighbours, but assume they are not experiencing these problems, as no engineering reports have been posted. Could it be that our 3 year old antenna has developed a faulty connection affecting its attenuation only on this one multiplex(eg water ingress)? I don't want to call in the aerial guys and be charged a call out fee for nothing.
Many thanks

SEAN-
Hi,
The fact that your neighbour has the same problem rules out any issue with your tv.
Is the problems still current?
Is the sound perfect or distorted?
Is the problem affecting more than one tv in the house?
what is your location?
thanks
Jamie

Is the problem on all channels or just some?

I live in a block of flats in Slough. I should pick up BBC London from Crystal Palace but my roof aerial is pointed towards Hannington, so therefore I get BBC South. Would it be worth retuning my Humax HDR-T2-Fox manually to CP or just stick with reception from Hannington?

Andrew Tegala: I don't understand the question.
If your aerial points to Hannington then it has been installed to pick up signals from Hannington. If you "should" do anything, then surely you should use your aerial as it was designed.
If you would prefer to watch London programming then clearly you would have to consult with the person or body responsible for the aerial system although it would mean that everyone else in the block will also have change their regional programming unless a second aerial is fitted in order to give viewers choice.

Andrew Tegala: As Dave says, there might be a reason why it's pointing towards Hannington, but it seems like you should get a signal from both - you could also try manual retuning into the Crystal Palace channel numbers (UHF 23/26 would give you the London BBC/ITV1 regional services).

Update FYI - it turned out to be my old analogue DVD recorder which has the antenna cable pass in to and out of if. Interestingly, it's never powered up, so I assume there's some very, very simple cabling going on inside there that's failed. Adept Aerials found it in minutes, and confirmed my signal was more than good enough for Freeview HD, so now I have no excuse not to buy a replacemnt PVR :^)
