What is going on with the stockland hill mast? Had no problems until last night when I had next to no reception. Tried a retune could only find 10 channels. Tonight tried another retune and found 35 channels. Went on the roof to check the connection to the aerial, decided to reconnect the cable to the aerial. Had to come down to get a tool whilst the cable was not connected to the aerial. Without the aerial the signal was showing signal quality of 85! Went back on roof and before connection the strength and quality were very low - Current readings (after reconnecting aerial) - Signal strength (34) and quality (5).

Frustrated in Culmstock: Hi. Given that Stockland Hill increased the power levels a lot overnight, your descriptions suggest this might be your problem - Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

But my signal was bad when I checked about 7.30pm last night? Also I can now only get channels from PSB1 BBCA? Signal quality for bbc1 currently 14, strength 30 both out of 100. I am using a wide band high gain aerial as I do not have direct line of sight to stock land hill.

Briantist, I have done nothing to the aerial etc since your last post. Right now, my signal could not be much better on most channels/mux (almost 100) except the HD ones (com6) which varies between 0 and 60. The sky is clear as opposed to it being a bit wet/windy the other night. Any thoughts?!

Frustrated in Culmstock: In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the power of Stockland Hill's COMs went up. However, Rowridge began transmitting on the same three channels.
Rowridge is in the same direction as Stockland from Culmstock.
