The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

I am prepared to be corrected on this but, as I understand it, the TV licence is only a permit to OPERATE "television receiving equipment". The fact that the fee goes to the BBC is at the whim of politicians and was not always the case. It gives you no rights as to what you receive.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to prove. I've given my view that the licence fee is irrelevant to what I was saying. Ron wrote: "Imagine what the licence fee would be if we had to directly pay for all these channels", but the people on full Freeview do get "all these channels" without paying any more licence fee than people on Freeview Lite, so we know what the licence fee is "for all these channels". You can lead a person to logic but you can't make them think.

BBC do not advertise, the fee covers their costs. Do you get all BBC channels in Todmorden? If not then complain to the BBC. Independent channels are so called because they are not supported by the licence fee. I said in my first post that it is all about money. The advertisers are not going to support small communities as they will not get the revenue to cover the cost. Instead of batting your gums and having a pop at me with petty remarks like 'Lost for words, Ron?', go and live somewhere else or complain to the IBA.
I simply mentioned that the fee would be much greater if we had to pay directly for each channel. Murdoch and Co. seem to have found that out. Logic and Thinking? try it sometime.

Another history lesson. It was reckoned that when ITV started and the TV licence was £4, you were actually paying £6 for ITV through invisible advertising costs. Judging by the fact that people are prepared to pay around £500 for Sky, the ratio has changed for the worse and you are actually paying twice to watch adverts. Ron, yes I thought that David's last sentence was quite self critical.

Oh and I forgot to mention that only £3 of that licence fee went to the BBC, £2 for TV and £1 for radio. HM treasury took the other £1.

Interesting as the history of the licence fee is, I still don't think it's relevant to the topic I was raising which was that of a better choice of channels for those of us on Freeview Lite. I only objected to one aspect of Ron's first post where the licence fee first raised its head.
If you mean that my "last sentence" was critical rather than "self critical" that's probably true. I have no idea what "batting your gums" means (some sort of Yorkshire saying?) but if it means writing something like "Tell him Brian" when somebody has the audacity to disagree with you, then I may be guilty by replying in the same vein.
As Ron is now telling me to be happy with my lot because I don't live near a main transmitter, like a squire talking to a serf,
I shall humbly tell him to place it where the sun doesn't shine and unsubscribe from this useless forum.

Denise farnaby: Thanks for the update regarding the model of TV involved, but its the 10 minutes or so you refer to that gives me cause to wonder if its your TV itself that's causing the problem, as any external faults that might be occurring would generally be of a totally random nature, whereas not if originating from within the TV, like for example a faulty tuner, isn't it possible to borrow a small Freeview portable from someone for an aerial test?

Also I find it slightly difficult to check on your previous postings as they are not all under the same heading, but on what I did find I cant see you having mentioned anything about the aerial you are using, like where its installed and does the aerial go through anything such as an amplifier etc before it reaches your TV?

Also on your March 1st (@10.40am) posting you mentioned that you had purchased an HD unit and it was just the same, what was the HD unit?

Regarding the attenuator, what's printed on it as far as the dB reduction figure is concerned, as you didn't mention what it was and if its too weak it wouldn't make any difference to a strong signal.

These might seem like a lot of questions, but they are necessary to be able to assess what is liable to be causing your problem.

It would appear that no amount of trying to appease Mr. Mansell is going to work. He obviously has a chip on his shoulder the size of a sackfull of potatoes. I hope he manages to find the channels he is looking for at some time in the future but I do not think that anyone is going to run him a personal feed from Emley Moor to Todmorden.
Thanks for the input Mr. Davison. You, at least, have grasped what I was trying to get over to him. We all may now continue to benefit from what is regarded by thousands of people as a very useFULL forum.
jb38, on Denise Farnaby's problem, could it be a thermal fault in the digital circuitry? Seems to me to point to something working until it heats up and then disconnecting. I may be completely wrong of course.
