Last few days several of the channels on com 6 are pixilated or just not there, I watch DMax quite a lot so missing it somewhat, up till now has been fine is there a known problem, a reduction in power or just the jot weather?

Just checked my signal strength on UHF Ch 28 which is where D Max is transmitted I have 70% signal strength and 0% quality, strange as I gave been watching this channel for months

Chris.SE: Thanks for the response, dont really understand the Sig St vs Sig Qual but just checked again and at the moment (14:15hrs) on UHF Ch 28 I have 70% Sig St and 28% to 43% Sig Qual
UHF Ch 37 is worse Sig St 34% to 38% and Sig Qual 24% to 60%.
Then UHF Ch 55 is Sig St 50 and Sig Qual 100

UHF Ch 21,22,24,25,27 all have above 70% Sig St and 100% Sig Qual
Thanks Brian

Chris.SE: Chris,
Thanks for the excellent explanation re Signal Strength vs Signal Quality, my post code area is PO7 6BE, last night the Signal quality on that Channel did not fall below 38, where as the previous night it was 0, as I have changed or added nothing I'm assuming one of your earlier comments re the weather must have been the cause, if that is the case it looks like something I'm going to get occasionally, thanks for your time...cheers Brian

Chris, Thanks for your replies a lot of information there to digest, strange no problems with picture breakup again last night, checked my aerial connections and as for aerial direction it has not moved, its looking like it is an atmospheric/weather type problem which has corrected itself at the moment, will keep an eye on it, thanks for hourbgimecand input....cheers

Chris, re your comments about reports of "Tropo" today, it looks more like that is the problem at my address as Ch 28 and ch 37 are really bad today , both are bouncing quality between 0% to 18% , going from bad pixilation to no signal, so guess I'm stuck with it at certain times of the year...
