I've just set up a high- 48-element in my . Should I point it towards the regional tv () 30-40 miles away or a freeview light mast about 1 mile away (near Tigers Rugby)

Steve Mak: (H polarisation @ 19miles / 49 degrees) is indicated as providing the best and with the terrain indicator showing a clear line-of-sight between the and your location, this of course excluding any man made structures or vegetation such as trees.

Steve Mak: At your location using the light is pointless as both and offer stronger signals and the full Freeview service. It is intended to serve a small corner of South that (possibly) is screened by tall buildings or suffers from reflections to the signals arriving from the main transmitters. It is likely that there are relatively few viewers who actually use that .

I can't receive on 21 from . CB1 9YE.

I have received it in the past from the same ( which I lack access to), but because I normally use TV, I can't pin down what has changed when.

All other channels have excellent - BBC/ITV/C4 in particular have 100% signal and .

Interestingly when I manually on 21, it picks up strength (around 90-100%), but quality is always 0 and no channels are found.

I bought a variable attenuator in case the signal is too strong, it it does reduce signal strength (including manual scan on 21), but what ever I set it at it never finds channels.

My parents less than half a mile away get the HD channels no problem. I even tried the same HD box to exclude equipment.

Before I hire an aerial expert to an external , any ideas?

Greetings (2013-12-29) we are looking for some advice please. Our Free-view 'collapses' after a while. It is fine when switched on, then eventually makes a horrible sparking sound, and the picture goes into scrambled little blocks. We then switch off. What causes this? It does it every day when we switch on the TV. We are at SN3 5BG and our TV is mounted with from . We are on a shared aerial, and the other residents don't seem to have this problem. Your comments would be appreciated. Regards, Bill

Bill Wardhaugh:
That you are on a communal and others have no problems strongly suggests the problem is with your TV. To check this, try seeking the of a neighbour who has no such problem and connect your TV set to their aerial socket (hence you need to seek their assistance to let you take your TV into their apartment). If the TV behaves the same, it is faulty and needs attention from a qualified service engineer, or replace it with a suitable new TV set.
