Malcolm H: Trees can cause issues with reception.
The signal being received may vary when the branches move, when leaves are on the tree or when they are wet. They may affect some channels and not others.
If it is BBC standard definition services that you are having difficulty with, then these are on C45. BBC Two analogue used to be on that channel, so did you suffer from intermittently poor reception on that channel?

Thank you guys.
Small problem this afternnon and evening - intermittent glitching on ITV1 Ch.3. Occurs at least once-per-minute, sometimesd 2-3 times in quick succession. All other channels fine. Hope this isn't going to be the norm.

Is switch over pretty much complete? I am living in fleet , and am restricted to PBS1 (just bbc channels).
I dont get any of the channels on Mux 2,3 which the info claims go out at the same power (50,000).
Briefly a couple of weeks ago I got coms 6- poor quality but it came through. This has now disappeared even though according to the information provided, it is being broadcast at 5 times more power now.
What are peoples thoughts? is this it? will coms 6 come back- I am baffled why it would appear for a while and then disappear again. According to more general predictions we should be able to get the whole range (I realize that these are often not reliable). Should we be looking into attunators or amplifiers or is there still some sort of improvement to come (and does anyone think that either of these things would make any difference anyway)
Any thoughts or explanations would be appreciated

DSO is complete for Hannington.
What broadcast channel are you receiving PSB1 on? It should be 45 for Hannington.
What signal strenght/quality does your TV or digibox show for broadcast channnels 41, 42, 44 and 47?

I have had a look and yes PSB1 (PBS1?) is coming through on channel 45 though only with a low percentage (in the few seconds I watched it was between 16 and 31) which means it is quite good these channels break down so little.
41,42,44,47 all come through as 0% (so not a suprise I cant see them), though 44 briefly flashed 18% before showing 0 (none of the others did this). Is this flash significant? It seams odd, surely either it can get signal or it cant.
What I dont understand is why PBS2,3 dont come through at all if they are at the same strength as Pbs1- though I do realize the explanation coould be extremely simple- the signal strength data is wrong.

tim: Sounds like the signal strength could be too high which is overwhelming your receiver:

Try connecting a set-top aerial. Or if the aerial plug is a screwed together one (i.e. not a moulded on type) then unscrew and remove the outer part of the plug and insert only the centre pin into the aerial socket. See if these improve matters.

Tim,
Prior to the start of DSO for Hannington in early Feburary, were you able to receive all multiplexes? PSB2 is broadcast on channel 42, at the same level as PSB1 on channel 45, so if you can receive PSB1, you should be able to get PSB2.

Adrian, prior to switchover no I didnt receive any digital mux at all. As to your comment about PBS2 that is exactly what I thought, hence the question. If the signal strengths are identical why does one come in perfect and the other not at all.
Dave, I will see if we have a set top ariel to try out, though I find this rather hard to believe it could be the case. Before switchover there was definitely no signal (all the internet signal checkers agreed). In the past we have been in areas which did have good signal and we never had the problem we are currently faceing

tim: The likely reason that you were in an area with no signal is not because you have poor line of sight to the transmitter, but because the transmitter was not radiating an omnidirectionally. That is it was outputting a much weaker signal to its east side.
Now the signals are omnidirectional. So you have gone from being in a "very very low/non-existant" to "very high" signal area. This is quite an increase.
