Hi Dave,
I just tested Dave (the TV channel) and that's shows as signal level 80 on the TV; so if I'm reading the above info correctly that's at the same TX power as the chan's I have issues with.
My aerial is an old analogue one, but I live near the coast opposite Rowridge (Stubbington), and thought I may get away with it.
I have to say that your answer confused me a bit: I thought I could only have a horizontal Ae pointed at Rowridge! If you have a sec could you dumb it down just a tad bud?
I could go and buy a digital Ae, but whenever I see them in shops they seem to be wide-band . I guess shops don't like to stock all the different kinds.
Perhaps I'll wait until tomorrow, and if it's not working try a digital Ae.

Hi Dave and Jamie,
The change to vertical has given me back my channels. Thank you very much for helping.
The signal level for the returned channels is still significantly lower than all the others however: 85 for BBC and just about all that are not on COM6; COM6 only gives me 60 on my TV's strength tester.
I note that COM6 is the highest frequency out of Rowridge and am wondering if my old Ae may not cope due to that.
If it's not my Ae I have to assume that COM6 is indeed low on power at the moment.
Jamie: Cheers for the Ae advice bud; I have looked on Amazon and it's simple for me to order a correct one from there.

Hola,
I quick final post from me (I hope so anyway).
I just went back and tested all the COM6 channels again, and today they are at 82, pretty much the same as all the others. I think that this means that Rowridge was indeed low on power yesterday when I was only getting 60 after the shift to vertical, and didly horizontal.

ITV4, Film4, Yesterday and others have stopped working for me today. A signal test (samsung TV test) shows them fluctuating between 0 and 45 (out of 100 whatevers) and very high bit error rates.
I did a test on BBC1 and that's at signal strength 85. the top of the page says 'no reported problems,' but I think I have found one.
