Thank you Stephen P and JB38 for your guidance and encouragement to keep going. I now have a full set of channels including HD, in fact more than I had with Virgin. Very happy!

Update!
~Got everything working this afternoon, turned off and then around 7pm turned on; watching HD then suddenly at about 7.15pm loss of lots of channels, had around 50% signal and 100% quality on 22,23,25,26,28,& 29, then lost 22,25 & 28 with zero signal and under 15% on the rest. Checked Stockland hill status, no reported problems; aerial is ok, booster is on. Any suggestions?

Chris: Do "not" be tempted to alter anything, as what you have said suggests that the problem could be caused by either atmospheric reasons or that there is a problem at the transmitter, as transmitter problems are not always reported for some hours after the event and on occasions can even be on the next day.
Should you be on speaking terms with a neighbour you could maybe make an enquiry with them, or possibly someone else local.
But once again, do not alter anything for the time being.

Chris : Although I am not suggesting that you alter anything for the time being as all you will do is to lose all the settings you have already made, but what I wondered was whether or not the aerial that you use is exclusively yours and is "not" shared by anyone else?
Problems caused by atmospheric conditions are quite commonplace in the South of England around this time of the year and are frequently the cause of disruption to reception, but its folly to try and alter anything as all that does is to compound the problem whereby when the signal returns to normal the settings on the TV arent!

Currently I receive freeview from a partial transmitter at taybridge, can I install a new aerial or other device to receive full freeview. Do not want to subscribe to cable or satelite
Thanks

Stuart Trayner: This query was fully answered / commented on in reply to your original posting under "Freeview on the Angus transmitter" made on "thursday 13th September @ 10:06PM, the answer basically being that because of a possible clash between Blackhill's commercial channels and Tay Bridges PSB ones this type of thing is only worth trying by an enthusiast as its doubtful if anything could be achieved.
No other options exist as far as I can see, as your area appears to be screened as far as picking up the relatively local Angus transmitter (@ 7 miles) is concerned.

Hi there. I currently have a SKY+ subscription and 1 multi-room package. I cant pick up freeview in my area and would like to get free to air channels in rooms upstairs. I have changed the LNB for something with more connections, I have run the leads to the rooms and fitted the points (im a sparky, so no probs with the connections). I have got a couple of standard boxes off ebay, but neither are picking up a signal. I have tested both boxes downstairs and they are fine.
Do they need cards or do i need to ring Sky for permission, or what other problems could this be caused by?
I really dont want to spend anymore time or money on this problem, so some expert advice would be much appreciated....Thanks in advance. Nick
