Dear sir
We seem here to lose our tv every time the wind blows. The power company keep repairing the same fault and then it goes out again. It is an appallingly bad service and I fail to see why this happens again and again .

Trevor spinks: Your transmitter is off air for part of today, and that might be due to the electrical supply, but its not the fault of the transmitter. If your TV signal has problems, then its due to your system, probably due to a dodgy cable fraying when moved in the wind. Frankly, your 1km away, so an indoor aerial should be fine.
