M Hodson:
Though no one else has reported any problems, as they would be expected to if the transmitter had serious sound problems, I would suggest you check all your aerial connections for damage and/or corrosion. If there are coaxial plugs/sockets unplug them and then refit. That will clear any corrosion/oxidation from the contact surfaces. Also check your signal strengths. they need to be between 60% and 85% - if it is much higher than you have too much signal. A full post code, as requested by the text above the entry box, will let us determine what the signal reception conditions are like at your locality.
