Prior to 22/2/2012, I could receive programs from Com5(ArqA) and Com6(ArqB). Now reception is limited to a badly distorted picture or a blank screen. Is the signal strength going to be increased sometime, or am I always going to have this problem?

John Costello: The power of the COMs will be increased on 18th April (Digital UK Tradeview suggests that it might be 4th April).
It could be that the high power signals are desensitising your receiver, meaning that the nearby (in a frequency sense) lower power signals aren't "heard" as well.
If you have a signal booster, you could try removing it or reducing its level of amplification (if it allows). Or add an attenuator to bring down the level of all the signals in the hope that a balance can be struck where the low power ones are high enough but which the high power ones are reduced enough to increase the sensitivity.
An analogy would be your eyes. When more light is around, the pupils close and hence, when you're in a room at night with the light on, you can't see outside very well. Turn the light off, and your eyes become more sensitive to outside. Unfortunately you can't turn off the bright lights in this instance, only fit shades to reduce all (in the hope of striking a working balance).

Removing the booster gives me no programmes at all. Everything was OK until the digital switchover when I assumed power would be increased. If "very low" is the increased strength what was it before?
I have to use Hannington, even though I am on the fringe of reception because I have a huge obstacle (ie a big church) which wrecks signals from Rowridge.

Can Someone explain the reason for the low power running what would be the effect to other areas if was full on .

Looks like I wait until April when according to Arqiva the power will increase on the "commercial channels"...

Hannington COMs:
The change in transmission mode yesterday led to a loss of 6dB ( ie signals reduced to 1/4 previous) for the same transmitted power. The COMs cannot use the new antenna system until London switches over

Well, the DSO has now been accomlished but whereas I could receive all the old MUX c & D transmissions without a problem I can now receive all except ARQB (the old MUX D!!).
why is this?

I posted a problem with Hannington earlier this morning, but it has not been replied to. I have tried all the recommended "fixes", but none of them worked. I am not able to pick up ITV channels without retuning the tv. As soon as I switch the tv off or go to standby, the stations are not retained and I have to start all over again. BBC channels work fine. This situation has only occurred since 22/02/12. The earlier switchover 08/02 worked fine.
Incidentally, I have 2 other tv's in the house and they appear to have retuned perfectly. This one has not. The retailer tells me that there is no problem with the tv. It is the Hannington transmission that is at fault! Please clarify for me?

Patrick Midgley: Speaking in general terms that type of fault is nearly always associated with receiving more channels than the receiving devices tuner can store, hence when its switched off etc it loses them.
Out of everything you tried did that include a factory reset "before" auto scanning? as in most cases that fixes the problem.
By the way "factory reset" sometimes called "default setting" or "first time installation" depending on the equipment used.
If the aforementioned doesnt cure the problem maybe you could indicate the model of TV involved, also does your TV automatically store channels or do you have to manually do it by selecting "store"?

Yesterday I had the commercial channels and BBC with loads of errors and breaking up. Today only BBC but no errors. Signal strength @60%. Yesterday fluctiating between 50 and 70. Any thoughts?
