Why have I lost several free view channels in the last few weeks.

Nothing has changed in me Aerial or TV set up

I have tried a retune and the channels no longer appear.

Film 4 is one example

There appear to be transmitter problems from Stockland Hillsi I;m informed by BBC help line and yet nothing is shown about this on line. How do I get accurate information on the problem of 'no signal'

roy grantham:

I have also posted the fact that I have suddenly had a problem.

I have lost all the COM6 channels. It is not my aerial and no other set ups have changed.

It seems to be a reduction of power (signal) from Stockland Hill. If I swing my aerial to Mendip all is fine.

M K Helliar: The COM channels from Stockland aren't as powerful as the PSBs, and therefore don't have as big a footprint. The three COM channels are also used by Rowridge (but those of the Stockland PSBs aren't). This re-use of channels in closer proximity than with the PSBs is the reason for lower power and is likely to mean some people are limited, not because they can't receive it, but because the level of interference is too great.

At a sample location to the south of Yeovil and Digital UK Coverage Checker "thinks" that Stockland's PSBs are good, but its COMs are non-existant. Rowridge's PSBs are good, but its COMs are non-existant. These non-existant reception predictions could be down to too much interference.

If you have a yagi aerial, then a Group A aerial is probably best for Stockland.

TV is Toshiba TL96 3months old with integral freeview receiver. good signal, Have set up several times to see if any effect on lip synch problems. These are confined to HD programmes - the worst being ITV. Sound ahead of vision by ms but sufficient to prevent watching unless it's a commentary.
I am qualified in R & TV so have discounted my hardware now as the problem - is this a case of distance and the fact that there are two transmitters in the SW that give good signal here. I plan a visit to my local stores and will check if they have same problem.

Any advice appreciated. eg Which t/x should I be targeting for this postcode.
