I live in Brockenhurst, which is not a good freeview reception area, but with a class 2 antenna fitted when digital transmissions started, I rarely had problems before the frequency changes in 2012.
Since that time I have picture & sound breakup mostly on Mux Coms 5 channels. The breakup seems to be worse in summer and later in the day.
Presumably some CCI or ACI is to blame.
Would I benefit by fitting an improved antenna?

for Briantist
Brockenhurst is low lying, there are hills between us and the Rowridge Transmitter, and I understand a number of people have had reception difficulties.
However, my digital signal was adequate with before the frequency changes.
Several months ago I made several checks putting a TV directly on the antenna feed (it normally goes through a distribution amplifier in the loft) but this had negligible effect on the picture break up. The antenna was OK before the frequency changes and still seems to be pointing in the right direct. There could be a problem with the antenna or cable or maybe I need a better antenna. Your opinion would be welcome.

For Dave Lindsay
Thank you - good point - I'll get it turned to vertical polarisation.
Thanks

'Freeview'Aerial on roof - SO42 7SW
From 7.30PM to 10 PM last night (27.4.11) I was unable to receive ITV1 freeview and a few adjacent channels. Same fault detected on all 3 freeview TV's.
I switched to analogue and ITV1 atarted OK but after a short period the picture had considerable moire - bad enough that it was difficult to watch the Real Madrid v Barcelona match!
Today I investigated the 'fault' but freeview and analogue were OK again.
Presumably a fault at Rowridge?
