are the powers that be not able to think up a way of stopping foreign transmitters blotting out Sudbury in summer?

Dover comes in ok in Aldeburgh most of the time, except for mux on c48, Sudbury gets knocked out by Dutchmen.

I am getting the ITV channels in Aldeburgh with an aerial aligned on Dover on channel 49.
I am curious to know the transmitter location. All the possibilities show BBC on this channel and cannot find a map on this site showing all transmitters in Essex and Kent.
Any ideas, please?

thanks Dave.
How about ITV on channel 26 with Sudbury aerial?
I cannot get any sense out of freeview this time of year. I have a brilliant Sudbury aerial, one minute near 100% signal quality on all muxes, then c56, 58, 60 go to zero, or at least one of them does, then another, then another.
Similar on Dover aerial

Thanks Dave.
I get a good picture from Holland on channel 22 with a group c aerial at 90 degrees to it! Shame I struggle with the right aerial in the right direction for Sudbury!

Dave, please could you explain this.
On analogue, when the foreign channels messed up signals from Sudbury, we had a wobbly picture with foreign picture underneath.
On digital, I lose muxes on c56, 58, 60, but there is no foreign picture to replace them. From this I get the impression that there is no foreigner there, even if I turn the aerial to Holland. So why I am I losing the signal?
Also, when Holland comes in, it comes in with the aerial in any direction. Is this because the signal is bouncing down from above, so that how the aerial is positioned is irrelevant?

Thanks JB.
Is it necessary to do a scan when the foreigners come in and perhaps see something? Otherwise I am left with the impression that there is nothing there and lost as to why Sudbury has vanished.

Thanks KMJ and JB
I suspect the culprit is Holland, but no search when I lose signal from these three Sudbury muxes will help me find out?
C41 and 44 are the same power but don't vanish. Why?

JB, please would you have a look at Sudbury page when you get the chance?
Thanks,
