the simple answer is that your must be marginal rather than a good pass.

when signals are marginal they have periods of working correctly, usually during the day and when the atmospherics change, ie mornings and evenings then the signal drops slightly giving marginal signals issues such as loss of and pixilation.

the only resolve is to get your system professionally checked

Or if you know how you can first the , then the then any splitters amps then any outlets etc etc.

No usable from this evening - had to watch Strictly via Internet. Checked all my kit, -head preamp PSU, checked both TVs, low signal strength and near zero.
nothing changed my end that I can detect - Hannington did this a while back, everyone said 'It must be you', nice to see others suffering from the same problem.
Perfectly usable signal and the day before etc.

Also having problems here in Dibden and have been most of the week. Thursday was the only evening that I was able to watch TV and now Friday evening I have on any at all. This is not my equipment as at least 3 of my neighbours are having the same problem. Your advice 'Jamie' is poor and the service is very poor, especially when it is not even acknowledged that their is a problem with the .

I agree with Sue.
We have the same problems here in Medstead.
No HDTV at all.
Non-HD signal pixelated.
Has been like this on and off all week.
Clearing and re-tuning (numerous times) has been a waste of time.
What is being done to resolve this?

Sonia: Wehave been having problems all week. fix came out to check the signal which, at the time, was ok but explained that the problem is possibly 4g testing in the area. If this is the problem then how do we get a filter to block the 4g and will switching to frees at?
