Just resetting and tuning.
Had terrible problems on and off all day.
Thank goodness I've found this site.
Disconnected TV, power and Ariel.
Retuned with Ariel out.
Now retuned with Ariel in.
BUT
How do I know if I am on Wrekin or Sut Col transmitter?
Also there is a big Ariel mast on the Severn Trent Depot. It has been there for a few years.
Never had a problem on the old system.
Since digital, frequent fragmenting of picture, frequent no signal on several channels.

Someone sent me one plug in device. I have additional freeview boxes or TV's with Freeview.

Where do I put this device, does it cover all units and if not how do I get more free ones, for some new interruption protection caused by others.

I have yet to be convinced that digital is better.

We have frequent picture freeze, fragmentation and loss of signal.
We have to retune two of our sets on a weekly basis and a third one at least once a month.

Is this digital technology in need of further investment and development or are we going to have to live with this situation for a long time.

IF we install a Freeview sat. How do we connect this the multiple sets? I assume there is an easy way, as many hotels seem to have lots of sets with the service.
