All programs on C48 have a very weak signal and poor signal quality. Other channels received from Midhurst are fine. Aerial is mounted externally on a mast on the roof of the house

Steve and Charles:
It is likely to be due to the very hot weather we are currently experiencing. There is no cure as it is not a fault and DO NOT RETUNE.

There was a report of a transmitter fault prior to those posts with weak signal for the BBC mux UHF48 but that was the 25th and should now be cleared assuming the information is correct. Otherwise as Mike suggests it's very likely due to current weather conditions.

@ Mike P.
Signal is ok now. The problems started to happen a few days before the hot weather with other channels not affected.
