Oxford (Oxfordshire, England) digital TV transmitter
Friday 25 May 2012 12:41PM

The reception on BCA/PSB1(Ch1,2,7,9,70,71,80,81 etc)has deteriorated significantly over the past three or four weeks with frame freezing and sometimes disappearing completely yet had been working very well before that.All other stations come through perfectly.I have tried a different set-top box and the problem persists.
I know that the aerial position is not ideal (too low) but, as I said earlier, everything has been working perfectly until recently. Any suggestions?

Sandy Heath (Central Bedfordshire, England) digital TV transmitter
Thursday 21 June 2012 3:58PM Aylesbury

I am Chris james and my problem now seems solved by the simple expedient of swinging my low roof aerial through 180 degrees and tuning to the Sandy transmitter rather than Oxford:I also get both South Today and Look East news and the ITV meridian news and Anglia News with a perfect picture all the time. Maybe others living in Aylesbury and having problems could try this.

Freeview intermittent interference | Freeview Interference

I have turned my aerial from Oxford to Sandy. The result is better reception on all channels except C52 which is the channel Sky News uses. How can I get better Sky News(82)reception? I used to get good Sky News reception when the aerial pointed towards Oxford but worse BBC1 & 2 and BBC news. What are my options?
