jay: If you can't get the signal back for multiplex 2, then waiting until August and using Waltham is indeed the best advice for stable reception.
Your other option is to add Freesat to your system.

been caught out twice now with nottm relay, just re-read all above and only 5 mux for sd channels !!! is this the same for all transmitters? and mux psb3 (ch21) is hd? as i thought mux's 7&8 would be used for that? comes up "unidentified" on meter (ch 21) but a strong reading.

ian, notts: Yes, BBCB is used for Freeview HD on every transmitter. NEW7 and NEW8 are for Local TV - if an when it launches.
Any DVB-T box will not identify BBCB's signal, only DVB-T2 equipment can see it.

Thank you Briantist! I looked at them and its possible but surely if that was the case, it wouldn't be just over night and some of the day, it would be a constant issue? The signal for SDN right now is declining so i expect that maybe by midnight it will be off completely! I have a 90% strength but only 45-50% quality, yet during the day it is as high as BBCA and D3&4.. but they don't go walkies!
