I was complaining to Freeview regarding the reception on channels 20 and 21. I had excellent service from |Sarah who tried to determine the problem - saying BAD reception - on both. In the end I had to call in a TV / aerial engineer who on his invoice says
'To check signal and prove to old C aerial no longer able to receive lower frequencies due to recent changes in signal from Malvern Transmitter . To replace aerial 120'

Firstly, do NOT give your address on public web pages such as this. Secondly, this website if independent of all broadcasters and has no responsibility for any changes to the TV transmissions.If you are asking for a reimbursement of the 120 paid to replace your aerial then you need to talk to Freeview directly.

It is a simple question. Has the Malvern Transmitter reduced the number of frequencies such that the signal and quality of the signal - as it states BAD SIGNAL on my TV screen re CHANNELS 20 AND 21 ?
And please allow me to speak to a human being rather than an automated message. My telephone number is 01905 641071 or can I telephone you?
Regards

Dag Smith: The Malvern transmitter has not reduced the number of available channels, nor has it reduced the power level of any transmissions. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Do not attempt to retune. Posting your phone number online is not recommended and makes it more likely that you will receive unwanted telesales and other nuisance calls. This unofficial website does not have a telephone support line and no contributors from here are going to call you.
