Mariablanca Perezaguilar: Good Morning, Mariablanca, although owing to your shift pattern you'll probably not read this until the afternoon. You have actually posted on the wrong website. This website is for viewers having difficulty receiving a tv signal or a radio signal. You need to contact the 5USA channel. Assuming you have email facilities, you should email:

customerservices@channel5.com

with your comments. I hope this will help you to persuade the broadcasters to show the programmes you like at a time which is convenient for you to watch them. Alternatively, you should consider looking into the My5 facility. Richard, Norwich.

why does 5usa only show the same few episodes of CSI Miami over and over again during the day- there were dozens of these made- I didnt see them when they were first shown- I can only watch during the day- I work at night- all TV companies are so patronizing to daytime viewers

I suggest you ask 5 USA themselves. Their website is at 5USA - Channel 5

This website is intended to assist those having reception problems.

Have recently watched, and thoroughly enjoyed, the Jesse Stone series.It is a likeable show ticking all the boxes for acting,script,directing and music.
Although each episode has a stand alone storyline, there is a timeline of continuity in the series.
So I wondered why 5 USA disregarded this and broadcast them outwith the chronological order?

You would be better asking 5USA directly as this website is totally incependent off all broadcasters and is intended primarily to assist with reception problems.

The webiste for 5USa is given near the top of this page as 5USA - Channel 5

We are having trouble with the 5USA picture on our Sony tv showing "blocks" (which look like interference) on
the screen. This is also happening on the other channels in the COM4/SDN Multiplex.
All the channels on the other multiplexes are fine.

However when we plug our other tv into the same aerial the picture is fine on all the channels.
Hence the problem appears to be with the Sony tv not working with just that set of channels.
The firmware is at the latest level so there is nothing else that we can obviously do.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem ?

Thank you

Barry Elkington: What signal strength and quality readings do you get when viewing 5USA and what do you get on other channels such as Pick (channel 11) or Dave (channel 12)?

StevensOnln1:
Signal Strength is High for all channels.
Signal quality is:
- Low/ sometimes Good for 5USA and other channels in that Mux
- Good / sometimes Low for Pick and other channels in that Mux
- High for BBC1, BBC2, ITV, etc.

Barry Elkington:

You need a sigfnal strength of between 60% and 85% but no more and noless. If it is higher than 85% then you will get problems of pictures breaking and sound being unreliable. Check what values you TV reports and if they are higher than 85% then look at "Too much of a good thing" on this website.

MikeP: The signal strength isn't given as a number, just a horizontal bar which shows Low, Good or High.
The poor reception seems to be related to the weather. i.e. some days there isn't a problem.
However the real question is why, when plugged into the same aerial, one tv set has no problems with this group of channels whilst the Sony one does.
