Hi Brian, thanks for the reply.
I have been experiencing disruption since August 27th (Pre DSO re-tune date)
I lost Mux D for a week, after that it came back then i lost Mux C for at least 10 days and it came back. Now i only have Muxes 1, 2 A & B.
I have done all the procedures explained on this website but nothing seems to help.
Last Saturday (1st Oct) for example from 8am - at least 5pm Mux 1 & Mux 2, A, B & D were all out all day. tuner reported no signal on any of the frequencies.
my postcode is NR3 1PF
If the City Centre transmitter was Full Freeview i would simply point the aerial at that (about 700m away but actually higher than me topography wise.
I obviously would prefer to get all the muxes & HD and all my neighbours are pointed out to Talconeston
Oh i cannot find the box but i am sure my aerial is a 52 element high gain wideband.
the cable run is standard coax but it is under 10 metres in length (single feed to 1 TV , no splitters or amplifiers/attenuators
Thanks for any info you can provide!

Thank you Mark Flethcer for your comprehensive reply :)
I do not mind shelling out a few quid for an attenuator if needed (in the case of too much signal)
I would certainly prefer not to have to buy another Aerial (my current Coax is black, assumed to be Sat grade).
Fingers crossed for the 23rd

I had an Aerial upgrade many years ago, The chap who installed it was very helpful but he said i might need to get him back after the DSO, he advised a wideband aerial and one with hig gain (my aeriel HAS to be loft mounted)
I have had good reception on Freeview with this set up since 2006
Where i live in Norwich city centre (about 700m from the City Centre transmitter on Mousehold Heath. All my neighbours etc are pointing at Tacolneston (about 11 miles away) and this is where my aerial is pointed.Since August 27th i have suffered with lost muxes and some disruption. I assume this is down to the DSO starting as upto then i had flawless Freeview.
My TV says green signal (green/yellow/orange/red with an SNR value
i have full green signal bar and 30 dB avg on 5 muxes and 27 - 24 dB on Mux A but the green bar drops to about 90% with the dB flucuation (
So my main question is after 23rd November when the transmission watts are increased, am i at risk of too much signal?
