11. Oaky Blaks, Alnwick NE662QE
We receive our signal from the Chattoin transmitter. We are down in a dip and so "out of line of site" of the transmitter. For the last three weeks we have had very poor analogue reception and little or no digital reception.
I have retuned our three digiboxes and still get only a few channels on each. The number and actualchannels received differ from box to box.
This situation also occurred back in at the start of February, the signal had returne by the time we returned from holiday at the end of February.
Can you tell us if this situation is caused by the upgrading of the transmitter or do we have some kind of intermittant fault on our aerial

Mr. J. C. Richardson: I would say that your problem is most likely being caused by a combination of the engineering work (warning of weak BBC2 analogue at present) that is presently taking place in connection with the high power switchover in September 26th and the general seasonal atmospheric changes that's presently occurring that is causing odd reception problems to people in various areas.

Unfortunately, and as you will no doubt already know, there really isn't much that you can do to help this type unless you are prepared to experiment with your aerial to see if there any alternative positions a few feet away either side that gives a better signal strength, as in your type of situation there usually always is.

I can no longer receive a good quality signal from Pontop as the trees adjacent to my property are blocking all reception from the the south when they are in leaf, (they also make my satellite receiver useless for 6 months of the year). My post code is NE3 2UY. I have a high gain roof mounted aerial.
Catton looks a much better proposition but it's much further away than Pontop. Is it worth re aligning my aerial to Chatton or would I be wasting my time (and money)?

H: Although you are predicted as being able to receive signals from Chatton I doubt very much if in reality that you would as far as reliability is concerned, although in situations such as yours anything is worth a try, Chatton being located at 36 miles away on a bearing of 350 degrees and with no HD being possible until September 26th.

I will also say that you are not really doing yourself any favours by using a high gain aerial facing towards some trees, as high gain aerials are designed to have a sharper pick up and that's the last thing you want when the signal received is being obstructed, and so a more normal aerial such as a log periodic type is liable to give better results and with this being boosted if necessary and with a link for the type of aerials referred to below, the DM version being ideal for your particular situation.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Your reply confirms my fears.
I originally had a Yagi but a local 'aerial contractor' replaced it with the current Vision 32 High Gain when I called them in to try to improve my signal.
Perhaps I need to try another type of aerial or invest in a chain saw. Unfortunately the chain saw is not really a serious option as I would be in trouble with the local authority as the trees have preservation orders on them!
