Freeview reception at BT23 6LY


For reliable and stable Freeview reception, you need an unobstructed path between the TV aerial on your roof and the digital TV transmitter. The map below shows the transmitters predicted to provide a signal at this location.

You can click on any transmitter symbol to show the coverage area as a green overlay on the map. Double click on a transmitter symbol to go to the transmitter information page.

You can also view the ten closest potential '4G-at-800' mobile phone masts within 1.5km of the selected location - these masts may be used for 4G-at-800 mobile broadband services from 2013-2015.

I have been told that our reception problems here in Eastbourne for the last 48 hours are due to "co-channel interference from the Amiens transmitter in France due to weather conditions". What is this about, it has never happened before, and what weather conditions? All non-HD BBC TV and radio channels have vanished!

Is there not someone who monitors the tv signals and can fix them? Surely someone must be able to fix this widespread problem.
After all I am paying my TV licence,

It *has* happened before, quite often actually. There is nothing you can do about a natural physical phenomenon. Don't try retuning your TV else you may well lose all your services!

To all others having problems in the South, East and South East, just wait and be patient for the high pressure area to move away, then reception should be back to normal - unless you have wrongly retuned at the wrong time.

kevin roebuck: See postings above and on other pages. The inversion effect is causing signals from distant transmitters to carry and interfere with local ones. Judging by postings on this site, it's affecting a large swathe of the country.

To all:
One clue as to whether there are inversion effects is to look at how foggy it is. It is often the case, but not quite always, that foggy indicates warmer air is above cooler air, which is a temperature inversion. With that happening RF signals can travel much further than normal and cause unusual reception (some see French TV stations!) or such interference as to swamp the wanted Freeview signals. This is nothing new and has been known about by TV service engineers for many years, at least from the start of UHF transmission in the mid 1960s.
My advice is do nothing and be patient, waiting to the weather conditions to change for the better. Do not try retuning either as you are likely to lose even more programmes!

A press announcement stated that BBC4HD (amongst others) would be available on freeview from the 10th December, however having retuned my TV, I cannot get this channel yet. When will this be available in my area( Eastbourne BN238FB)?

John Mitchell: There are no plans at the present time to transmit BBC4HD from Heathfield. Unless you are able to get a sniff of a signal direct from Crystal Palace (try a manual tune on C33) the only way of receiving BBC4HD at your location is via satellite.
