I live in the SN6 area and in spite of all the theory I can only receive decent Freeview signals from Hannington. Freeview reception is almost, but not quite, perfect. Several aerial engineers have visited my house and have confirmed that I cannot receive a satisfactory signal from Oxford, even after its switchover, theoretically the best for my area. Am I correct in thinking that once the Hannington switchover occurs next year my signal will be at least as good as at present or will something nasty happen to the transmitter which will cause the Freeview signal to deteriorate at my location? (which is in any case reckoned a "very poor" one for Hannington).

Briantist: Thanks for your comment. My postcode is SN6 7QA. The Oxford transmitter is approx 25 miles NE from my house and the house is at the foot of a hill about 50-100' high in that direction. On the other hand the nearest hills of any size in the Hannington direction are the Lambourn downs, about 10 miles away. Does that help?

Norman: The predictions say that you should be using Mendip as an alternative transmitter. You will not get strong enough signals from Hannington.

Briantist: Thanks. Forgot to mention - I actually live in a dip between two hills - one to the NE and one to the West, so the Mendip signal suffers the same fate as the Oxford one - it flies a hundred feet above me. Ah well, it looks like Freesat here we come! Bye-bye Dave and bye-bye Yesterday. Will just wait and see until next February about Hannington and then dip into my pocket if, as now seems likely, the signal gets worse.

Hi, i have a TV aerials in my roof that used to recieve all analogue channels, recently i had installed a box which transmits my sky suignal to the other tv's in my house, i now cannot reveive BBC1 or 2 on freeview or analogue, what can i do
Postcode RG24 8WN

Richard: It sounds like the box you installed could be putting out the signal on or near to the frequency used by Freeview.
When you remove this device from your aerial lead do the missing Freeview and analogue channels come back?
Does it have some control on it (maybe a thing you turn using a screwdriver) perhaps labelled "RF Channel Out" or similar?
Perhaps you can post the make and model number of the device in question and/or a link to the place you bought it from as it might help us guide you as to what the solution might be.

Richard, Chineham, especially the area near the A33, still has dodgy Freeview reception so it doesn't take much to push it over the edge.
The only type of box you should have used is an aerial amplifier such as the Global F140 or similar connected via the RF2 output of the Sky receiver. If you used any type of un-amplified splitter you are asking for trouble.
