Is COM7 working?
I get usable reception of COM7 Crystal Palace off the back of the aerial but although COM7 Hannington shows a higher signal quality I can't see any programmes at all from Hannington.

I think the problem I asked about above is just some Microsoft weirdness in my media PC. It's the only DVB-T2 receiver I have at the moment.

COM8 seems to be the same strength as COM7.
(Checked with a spectrum analyser so they really are definitely very nearly the same power).

The same for Crystal Palace.

Have the planned transmitter powers for COM8 been changed to bring them in line with COM7?

Please fix key of list station by multiplex:

DTG-12 QSPK 8K 3/48.0Mb/s DVB-T MPEG2

For example for DTG-6 there needs to be a space between 2/3 and 40.4Mb/s.

Ossie Nelson:
In weak signal areas or where poor aerials are in use, especially if they're not right outside on the roof, it's always worth checking if you have some new piece of electronic equipment in the house which is radiating interference on the problem frequency. It can be a laptop, internet radio, DAB radio, anything with high speed electronics in it. Try switching anything new completely off and see if it makes any difference.

@brian jones
I bet it's just because these channels have the highest bit rates and some TVs can only just cope.
One of our Freeview SD TVs at home sometimes becomes unresponsive to the remote for a few seconds on the highest bitrate SD channels (BBC mainly).
