I have just read through two weeks worth of misery about loss of D24+D27 channels during high pressure weather systems.
Brian(tist) , Mike and all, you all do a great job trying to explain things. Fancy giving you (late night) abuse when all you are trying to do is help people..
Just a thought here digital ITV/CH4 fans but you could always try switching to analogue for a few hours when the signal drops out. I am on Bluebell Hill and that is what I do..

Levett: You are predicted to get a much better service from the Dover transmitter. Please move your aerial to point there.
