Reigate is over 100 degrees off beam off hannington and also vertical polarisation. I get absolutely no picture whatsoever. Just a screen of the grey you normally get when the cable is unplugged.

The signal is now perfect! thanks for your help Brian. However, when Guildford's analogue goes back to normal, I bet I'll loose it.

I live at RG20 9ED some 5 miles from Hannington. I have a modern rooftop aerial pointed to Hannington, and 95% of the time, enjoy faultless Freeview services on any of three TVs (two LCDs with bult in receivers), one CRT with Freeview set-top box. If it rains and the nearby high trees are in leaf, then we lose Mux1 services (BBC1, BBC2 etc) only - intermittent sound, severe pixelation, 'No Signal'. We still get a very good service on Mux 2 (ITV1 etc), some losses on the other Muxes. Question is: will the BBC Freecom service be boosted in power after the switchover, or should I be thinking about Freesat now? I am mystified why I should be losing the striingest of the Muxes during rain interference - any suggestions why. thanks

Mike Adger: Trees affect different frequencies differently. Fir one frequency, they might just act like a piece of paper, on others a massive lead wall. The other thing is intermittent interfence: Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

Do you have any information regarding the strength of the Hannington digital signals between February and August next year in the East/ESE direction - i.e. towards Hook? I am thinking that they cannot transmit at full power until after analogue switch off at Guildford. A number of my customers rely on the analogue signal when the digital plays up and the above situation would leave them in limbo for a few months.

TVTUNER: Yes, as above
"ArqA restricted to 20kW from DSO 2 'until further notice'. ArqB starts up on C41 (final channel is C47) and restricted to 20kW. (Ofcom say C41 is allocated to SDN at this transmitter and there's no note. DUK shows final channels at DSO 2 but does show two 'COM late power up' events.)"
PSB multiplexes broadcast on three old analogue frequencies.

I live in the outer fringes of the Hannington transmitter (postcode GU46 7TH). I believe the signal in this area is suppressed and there are some geographical issues (hills, trees and so forth) as well. We have a professionally fitted high gain aerial and a distribution amp feeding 3 TVs. Reception was acceptable although the ITV channels on Mux 2 were pretty poor and Mux C (only for Dave) was frequently unwatchable.
I was happy to hang on for switchover and the accompanying better signal in the hope of avoiding having to go satellite or cable.
However, something changed a couple of months back such that Mux 1 reception is now so poor as to be virtually unwatchable, and Mux 2 cant be received at all. Conversely, Mux C now comes in loud and clear. The rest is pretty much as was. I cant think its a hardware problem as its the same on all the TVs in the house and anyway, why would Mux C simultaneously show a dramatic improvement?
Any suggestions welcome.

Phil W: You will get the public service channels with full-strength from 22nd February 2012, with all services becoming stable for you on 4th April 2012.
Until that point you probably will not get a reliable Freeview service, apart from Multiplex A.
