TV reception this evening

[driverrob]

Is it just me, just my area or widespread?
Reception is so bad even News24 is breaking up on Freeview.

[Jasandjules]

Well it's Suffolk too, I have nothing but Dave, BBC1,2 and 3.... All ITV and Channel 4/5 and so on are just snow....

[randlemarcus]

Not just you. Got so bad with Downton Abbey, I'm considering using ITVPlayer. More likley to go find torrents though.

[Romanymagic]

I utilise Virgin as my TV supplier, signal has been a bit all over the place this evening, not terrible but occasinally blocking/pixelating.

[EDLT]

Its been like that for me since the digital switchover. Although it effects the upstairs TVs more than the ones that are downstairs, so it could be the aerial.


EDIT- I got an "Oops something is not quite right" message after I posted this. Is PH crashing in sympathy?

My freeview has just started coming and going, now gone completely... Never had a problem before today!

Actually, just seems to be ITV!

Not just you, ours has been carp all evening since about 7. We are south cambs/ Suffolk border and normally get good signal.

[Simpo Two]

Yep, C5 analogue has gone and a chunk of Freeview is missing too. Can't remember the technical name but Freeview is transmitted in four seperate band chunks and one appears to be down.

Same in Worcestershire- loads of multiplexes out or very poor signal - affecting majority of channels - can only assume atmospheric conditions...

[E31Shrew]

Same here in Shrewsbury. As usual all BBC stations fine but commercial ones breaking up

Atmospheric conditions apparently

Afraid not, just iphone speeling checker!!

[Marvindodgers]

It must have been some kind of atmospheric issue. I was at my parents and the Freeview kept breaking up and then when I got in the car to go home, the radio reception was appaling as well.

[GTIR]

Better this moring in Cambs/Suffolk.

I blame those carp programmes.

[Balmoral Green]

Very poor service last night. It was a bit better this morning, but now its poor again. As last night, we have hardly any channels.

It does seem to get worse year on year. A few years ago, there was no problem with a cheap box and no booster in the loft. But now we have much more expensive sophisticated equipment, a new ariel correctly attuned, and a powered booster, yet reception quality appears to steadily decline.

It's a bit crap!

At least Mrs BG can watch Corrie on analogue ITV.
