Suddenly there is no signal on the ITV group - Channel 23. Nothing else has changed, it used to be perfect. All other channels as nirmal - good signal strength. I've re-tuned manually and automsaticaslly several time to no avail. This lost of Channel 23 signal has continued for days now. What to do?

hey people I live in postcode EX4 4BH and have got a high gain indoor aerial in my loft conversion room, but am only able to get the signal from the Exeter St Thomas transmitter, even though I am in the Stockland Hill range easily. Any ideas on how to get the Stockland signal? Have tried manually tuning but cannot get it to find any channels other than the St Thomas ones. Any help would be much appreciated! Thankyouuu!

Cain: Aerials are designed to pick up what's in front of them and not what's to the side or behind. They are also polarized - the radio waves either bounce side-to-side or up-and-down, and the aerial has to go the right way. Finally, aerials perform better if designed for a limited range of frequencies, so it should be the correct group for the transmitter.
Exeter St Thomas is south-west while Stockland Hill is north-east. Exeter St Thomas uses vertical polarization - elements going up-and-down - while Stockland Hill is horizontal. Exeter St Thomas used group B frequencies before and after switchover, while Stockland Hill uses Group A. So there are probably three reasons why your aerial isn't picking up anything useful from Stockland Hill!
See Loft and indoor aerial installations for TV, FM and DAB and http://wrightsaerials.tv/….pdf for information about siting loft aerials.

When it rains i loss the channels on COM4,5&6. Is this because of the low rating and if so when will this be fixed?

Richard Sangster: The commercial multiplexes will increase in power next year.
If you have problems when it rains, this is because there is water getting into your aerial cable, and you should probably have it replaced.

Hello Brian
I'm based in the Mendip area (AV technical) and often come across bleed from Wenvoe and Stockland Hill. I was looking at the Mux powers shown for Stockland Hill (3@50kW and 3@10kW). Will their final values all be 50kW?
Kind regards

A possible reason for the present 10kw low powered commercial mux's on the Stockland Hill transmitter,ArqA on ch 22,SDN on ch 25 and ArqB on ch 28 is because it will clash with the neighbouring high powered 100kw Caradon Hill transmitter mux's on ch 22 (BBCB),ch 25 (D3+4) and ch 28 (BBCA).Once power to the understrength 10 kw mux's at Stockland Hill is increased,unless these affected mux's are relocated to other frequencies,what i mentioned earlier about the clashing of frequencies with Caradon Hill (ch's 22,25,28) could become reality.
