This is a public, free and independent helpsite. If you post information on a public message board, others will be able to read what you post. There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of message boards on the internet and wherever you post on such message boards, the information you choose to put in a post can be read by others. Information that you may have provided to this site, like your internet email address is NOT available to others.
Those of us that post here in response to others requests for help and information (we are all volunteers in that respect), have no control whatsoever over what you put in a post, if we make errors in our own posts we are unable to edit or change them. We usually make another post to correct any information.
Whilst your previous post(s) may well still be present somewhere on the site, I, and no doubt some others, have no interest in trawling back to find it. Whilst the information will probably be there, I doubt that whatever you posted is different from the information any member of the public might find in a telephone directory or similar, or indeed on the public electoral roll. Nevertheless it is never sensible to post such information on a public message board. The only information that volunteers need to provide specific help about reception is a postcode, and there are many addresses to most postcodes, so generally it's of little significance to anyone.
You should read the UK Free Privacy Policy and then you will need to contact the site owner Brian Butterworth directly to have any such posts of yours removed should you choose to do so. It is highly unlikely that he'll see your post here (but then again he might).

Alan Green: The text above the comments form makes it pretty clear that you are posting a public comment and not sending a private message. If you misunderstood that or posted by mistake, I can only suggest that you contact the site owner as nobody else can remove any posts.

There have been problems at the Oxford Transmitter for a long time.
The channels in PSB2 are so unreliable it's not really
Worth continuing with Freeview. I think I'll switch to
Freesat which must be being run in a better way as they
Very seldom have problems.

John J: If there was a long running problem at a main transmitter like Oxford there would be hundreds of people complaining about it. Since there aren't, it's far more likely that there is either a fault somewhere in your aerial system or you are suffering from interference caused by something nearby. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV, then follow along the aerial cable as far as you can safely access. Also, try to keep the different cables separated behind your TV, as HDMI leads in particular are a common source of electrical interference.

John J:
It's also possible, but maybe less likely that you are in a bit of an awkward spot in relation to PSB2 reception. If you provide a full postcode (or one for a very close retail or public premises) we could check that for you. If the terrain is your locale is very variable, it'll need to be somewhere very close by or your own postcode.
