We have a problem on C41+ in that the programmes break up making the picture unwatchable. We had this before the changeover and I hoped that the change and increased power would solve it.
The signal strength shows as 27% and quality 100% whereas BBC (C45) has strength 31% and Quality 100%
Any ideas what we can do to improve the position

I have retuned my set, but it will not pick up any of the ITV channels without further retuning. All BBC channels are OK. I have contacted the TV supplier and they tell me that works are still underway at Hannington and that there is no fault on the tv itself. Could you advise what I should do, please?
I have a roof mounted aerial.

Film 4 and Yesterday are now only intermittently available here in Winchester and I see that the broadcast power for COM5 and COM6 is currently "very low". Will it ever move up into the "low" category, or possibly higher, so I can resume watching these channels as I have since Freeview started. I have a good rooftop aerial and a signal amplifier for connection to my TV which is driven by a PC with a Hauppage TV card.

Richard Gibson: Remove the signal booster, your receiver could be desensitised by the higher power signals.
I haven't seen anything to say that COM5 and COM6 are on lower power than what they were on before. Thus, that is why I would suggest that problem is caused by the higher power digital services.
The "desensitising" is a bit like your eyes being desensitised to poor light outside at night with the light in the room turned on.
Amplification could be unnecessary. See here:

tony: Is the probalem that the wrong ITV region is being picked up? If ITV London is being picked up, then I assume that this is coming from Crystal Palace.
The most generic answer is to run the automatic tuning scan with the aerial unplugged for the first 25% so as to miss out the frequencies used by CP.
