D. Askew: Check each part. If the digibox works fine, is it the lead? If it doesn't, is it the box? And what is the box tuned to? If its the wrong transmitter, then its going to be a poor signal.

MikeB: To reiterate my former comments: the picture is perfect when viewing the signal through the digibox. If the digibox is switched off so that the aerial signal is being decoded in the TV then the picture is either completely broken up or "no signal " or "poor signal" is displayed. Both the digibox and the TV are receiving their signal from the same aerial feed.

D. Askew:
Please check the signal strengths being shown when you are viewing directly on the TV. I assume that you are merely switching the Digibox to standby and not turning of the mains supply to it?
You need to have signal strengths of between 50% and 85% for SD services and between 60% and 85% for HD services, anything more or less will cause loss of picture/sound and break up.

I have no means to check the signal strength but I don't doubt your comments about the signal strength being low, particularly as that is what the TV screen displays. What puzzles me is why, if nothing has changed at the transmitter, this poor signal has been present for the past four days when it had worked perfectly for years before then. Since we still seem to be getting a signal which is adequate to work through the separate digibox we can at least still view tv programmes, but I'm curious to know exactly what has happened.

D. Askew: Your aerial is connected to your TV by a cable just 6mm wide, with lots of connections, with is battered by the weather.
So if its not the transmitter.....

Your TV set will have a means of displaying the signal strength for each channel received. Check in your User Manual for how to access the manual tuning menu to see the strenfgths - but *do not* perform any tuning.

Mysteriously, without my doing anything, the TV signal (not using the digibox) is back to normal and working perfectly today. So why was the signal too low for 4 days - Sunday to Wednesday?

D. Askew: Your asking the question, but not thinking about where the problem lies - almost certainly within your own system. Best guess, it was raining a lot...

There is a bright light shining from the mast which is very visible at night. The Residents of Church Stretton are keen to know what it is.

Rachel James: Can you provide more details please? What colour is it? How high up the mast? From which directions can it be seen? Can it also be seen during the daylight hours?
