I live in Godalming and have been using freeview since just after it started. Our aerial was picking up the Guildford relay transmitter from Crystal palace and we couldn't get all of the stations. I had the local aerial installer come round and he detected a better signal from the Midhurst Transmitter, so he set the new aerial with amplifier to Midhurst.
All stations have been ok until about a month ago when the channels in group C (Dave, pick tv etc) all had no or low signal. This week all the channels in group D (film4, itv4 etc) are on a very low signal, sometimes watchable, sometimes no signal. There are no faults shown for the transmitter and I have retuned the boxes without any improvements.
Are these signal changes linked to the coming switchover?

Steve: On having a study at your reception possibilities I cant help but feel that the fact of you having previously received the two multiplexes mentioned was more of a fluke connected to the reception conditions prevailing at the time due to atmospheric reasons, and which have now changed to your disadvantage hence your problem.
My reason for saying this is, that you are not predicted (on trade view) as being able to receive ArqB at all from Midhurst until April 12th, and with ArqA presently under the heading of poor, and although its not impossible that their powers have been backed off very slightly (everything isnt reported) its very doubtful that they have been, because its BBC2 that's subject to changes.
I cant really see anything that can be done to help the situation, as you have said that an amplifier is already being used and no other station is indicated as being possible to receive, and that includes Guildford (except for BBC) at only 4 miles away, which to me suggests you reside in a problem area for reception.

@Steve:I live quite(very near to you) and Midhurst MUX C and D have always been worse than the other 4.
@Jb38-I'm not predicted to get anything other than 2muxs poor at my location, but I get 4 absolutely perfect in terms oc CNR and BER, 1 good (perfectly watchable, and one variable.
