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.

No it's not working correctly. We have had problems with poor signal since Monday and now lost all Itv channels completely.

here we go again.3rd email.would not be surprised if they are deleted .after all, the political/legal/medical/priv ent is doing it why not this site.Anyway picture breakup yet 25miles from IOW tmttr which i think is 20000 watts or similar, % miles of the parh is sea. No buildings round here much.120 ft asl open aspect to IOW cept for trees which we avoid by going in between.Tried 3 ants, the last one cost 34 pounds.Got 71 eles.Still only half signal with zero often on some freqs .Have tried moving all over this place and even outside only get three LEDs on the sig meter.(cheapo 9.99). New downlead not crap.Tried horiz with a bit improvement.Tried prof sig meter made by Pye used by bbc. The only good signal is at 200/220 megs which i reckon is DAB or something.WE JUST HAD A SHOCK TODAY- went over to neighbour 50ft away whose small bungalow is just off the signal path by about 20ft.Asked her do you get any tv signal probs as we could not see a gigantic yagi on the outside.She said no probs.We said how do you do it.She said look over there.On top of the c-heating radiator was a pound shop thing, its not an amp. To get there the signal passes thro 3 walls.Weve got 30pp notes made over a month to do with propagatio/ohms law/capacitance/impedance/digital and analogue signals/antenna construction/basic elektronics 6 vols/30 other books electronics/3 yagis/200 ft roll 75 ohm cable/uhf frequency meter by lowe/a new 32in tv from tesco with an analogue freeview built in 1080 resolution. The woman neighbour would not know or recog a sine wave from a lampost.So please explain the justice of life.If you can.Cos weve just about had enough.And the police violent threats dont help either.Yours exhausted- (29/9/13) @20.14. Nearly Forgot- We are getting needle bending signals on 145 megs from IOW of only 100 w.And similar strength and more from portsmouth. They are using simple dipoles at ground level not 200 ft masts with 20000w so what heck is goin on.The antennas we use are not yagis they are a bit of 2meter long wire as a vertical.Same distance same trees same location same path.Better brains.??

Following my post on Tuesday 24th September, signal is lost in Liphook tonight for the second time this week. This is not a home equipment problem but a transmitter problem.

Ian Blake:

Was your system working correctly yesterday and the day before?

I had a service call in hindhead on a system using hannington and reception was working perfectly well during the times above.

John Pontet: What you have reported does not suggest to me that the problem is in anyway connected with the transmitter as after all there are six transmitters involved, but is much more likely being caused by exactly the same reason that is responsible for numerous other viewers being plagued, insomuch as the result of the continuing high pressure allowing reception from distant transmitters operating on the same frequencies as used by Hannington and which are corrupting the data stream of the channels from said station thereby killing reception.

Another aspect of your reception from Hannington that wont help the situation is the fact that the signal is partially obstructed at just under 12 miles away, this meaning that reception is via an element of diffraction (signal bending) and with this being something which causes the signal to be more vulnerable to being interfered with.

You can see what I am referring to by opening the link.
