What are you doing to improve the signal into Fremington at EX313BS as the signal here is very weak. Also e.g. is also causing problems of interference to tv signals.Filters are fitted butinterference still occurs. Any help or advice welcome

After the engineering issue on 13/3/19 all the channel guide information text is scrambled - both on the channel guide and on the "info" button.
When will this be fixed? It is affecting people from Torrington to Bideford - anyone who gets their signal from the mast.

As a radio amateur who is licenced by Government & Ofcom I have started suffering inference on the 40 metre band with electrical noise & also on 2 metres FM. Under my licencing terms if I cause interference I have to fix it. I can see the Huntshaw transmitter from my home. When will you be fixing this problem which is not only causing problems to radio amateurs also weak TV customers around North Devon. I believe you go live on June 19th I hope the problems are sorted before then! Philip G0BVD Licence City & Guild Radio Amateur Operator

I assume recent weak signal issues are linked to preparations for June when HX multiplexes will move down to the 600MHz band, where they will doubtless compete with other "refugee" multiplexes. At these lower frequencies signals might (sic) get punchier, but more co-channel interference is likely. At present, on a wideband log periodic antenna, two Caradon multiplexes come through well on the north coast, others fall prey to co-channel mush. The 600MHz multiplexes should be happy with the log, but if I have woes, I might try a Band-A yagi or a grid or a diy parabolic... Fun times ahead ?

Jack Earnshaw: Give the Freeview Advice Line a call (see link below). They can arrange for a replacement wideband aerial to be fitted, free of charge if you don't have satellite or cable.
