Out of interest, how wide a band do these communal system boosters cover?
The reason that I ask is that ArqA and SDN are also on new frequencies (C59 & C62) and they are working fine. There were channels on C60 and C63 before though, so I guess there are probably boosters for these adjacent channels.
In contrast, the closest previous frequencies to ArqB's C55 were C53 & C57.

Oxford
Like Shirley, I get unwatchable reception on ArqB (C55), but I'm in Oxford using a communal aerial system with a pretty good direct line of sight to the transmitter.
My Thompson DTR-2300 didn't have any indication of signal strength, but my new Vestel T8300 clone HD box does and shows None for signal quality and around 65% on the signal strength for ArqB. All other muxes are Good or Very Good signal quality and only SDN (C62) is below 97% strength (it is 83%).
Before the digital switchover, Mux D (C29) was fine, so we must have a wideband aerial system, but Mux2 (C68) was always very poor. On my Pace DTR730 Mux2 showed satisfactory signal quality and 1/4 signal strength. All of the other muxes were good signal quality and 2-2.5 signal strength and mostly.
My suspicion is that we now have some single frequency interference at C55 which is causing our trouble.
