I have a roof CD aerial. It is installed about 5 meters above the ground. I get all channels Ok except sometimes I loose channel 60 only. Is channel 60 transmitted at the same power as the others? what do you think is wrong?
Thanks

Joseph : There are a number of possible reasons for loss of reception on C60. If your signals are being received at a level only just above the threshold for reliable reception, as the highest frequency this could be the first mux to drop below the reception threshold. However if you observe a good signal strength when doing a signal check, but the quality becomes poor when reception is lost, this could indicate that a reflection which is out of phase is being received on the frequency in question, or interference from an RF modulator of a Sky box or game console is being received which is blocking reception of C60. Another possibility is if there are any trees in the signal path C60 could be the first frequency to experience problems if the trees are wet or snow covered. Excepting the case of interference from an RF modulator, slight repositioning of the aerial could possibly provide a solution to the problem. I would certainly start by checking the signal strength and quality for each mux in order to look for clues as to the cause of the problem..

I have recently observed that ALL the Freeview HD channels on my smart TV (using an external aerial)have gone out of sync. The lips move BEFORE the sound comes from their lips. I live in Gourock and my aerial is pointed to Rosneath. All other channels are perfect. I have tried retuning but problem still exists. please advise!
Thanks,
Stephen

Watching freeview just before 6pm last night with no interference when signal went and 'no signal' came up on tv. Have tried everything including a different amplified indoor aerial which is at window facing Roseneath and still have no channels at all. Now says 'not programmed'. Please help.

Hi I'm David, I live in line of sight of the Rosneath transmitter. Before 17/4/13 I had no problems with reception, since then I have ongoing problems with all the BBC channels, often totally unwatchable. I have re-tuned my TV scores of times since, both automatically and manually but the problem persists. My Aerial was new 5years ago when the house was built. Please advise.

David Smith: If you live very close to the transmitter, check your signal strength - it might be too much.
