I had good reception on all digital channels until a few weeks ago. Now I have periods from minutes to a couple of hours when when my Panasonic TV shows no signal on Mux 1 channels (BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 etc) the rest seem to be fine. Is there a problem with Rowridge. Quite often at the same time I can get the picture through my Panasonic DVD which has a seperate tuner but it is not the best quality on these channels and the signal quality shows as poor.

My aerial has been in the loft for the past 11 years and I have had no trouble with Multiplex 1 since Freeview started except for the past few weeks. Normal signal strengh on the television is shown as a 10, when the signal drops on the television the DVD recorder shows a strenth of 6 which appears to be just enough on the DVD recorder but not enough on the television. Television displays the No signal message. If re-tuning is attempted when the Multiplex 1 channels have poor quality the television re-tunes all channels and misses out Multiplex 1.

I have BT vision the box as you probably know also supplies digital TV programs, that is it did until about a week ago it suddenly lost all ITV programs followed over a day by all other channels, now I am unable to get the full set of digital channels Im stuck with about five channels, however I can get pretty much all the digital channels if I take the BT vision box out of line and just use my Television, but I do need a booster box in order to receive them, this all seems ridiculous when you consider I live in a static caravan as close to the Selsey coast as you can get with no obstruction anywhere near me. I can only conclude that it is Rowridge transmitter at fault, but can find nothing to confirm this to be the case.
