Same problem here in Reading. Hannington signal quality level drops to zero then recovers. Varies over all channels.
Hannington Transmitter post no problems - only Relay upgrades - what is happening does any one know ????
There seems no way to find out what actual technical work is being undertaken.

I did email DigitalUK on the 18th March to ask if they knew what has changed with Hannington but there was nothing definitive....It has been perfect since the changeover a few years ago and even with a new aerial fitted 2 weeks ago ( Same as old aerial of 3 years ) and a new down lead it still has problems with BBC1 multiplex channels and Sky News Multiplex channels and others. The ITV Multiplex is fine. These are the only channel I watch on Freeview for a Kitchen TV...
Have checked with 4G filter fitted but no change...
I have tried it on 3 TV I have in the house....
Lets hope someone has a solution.....

I am having interference issues at Basingstoke
Some blocking and audio pops
I am close to Hannington, so wet string should be fine.
This has started in the last few weeks, what has changed?

Jim Taylor: Its probably because you don't need any more than wet string that's the likely cause. Search for 'too much of a good thing' on this site, which should help you.

I am about 23 miles away and have never had a problems until early March this year. Something has changed and my neighbours are also affected......There must be someone on here from the Transmission engineering team who could make some informed information as to what did change. I know that DAB Radio was increase in power in March. Maybe that has something to do with it...
