Good Morning, can anyone supply me with the compass bearing from TR3 7PQ to the Redruth transmitter so I can align my rooftop aerial correctly.
Regards. Douglas

Douglas Angwin: Click the link "Digital UK Tradeview" by your posting. Redruth is at 274° although remember that Magnetic North moves and therefore your compass may not be exact.

MY tv has started to say 'poor signal'
on some channels (BBC's 1 2 3 & 4)
we have lived here for two years and it's only just happened, the ariel is in the loft.
We have had the tv checked by an engineer, who says it's ok.
Can you help?
