Below are all of Deryck Hughes's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.We have lived in Conon Bridge since 2005 and have used Auchmore. The service and signal has been poor over the years, in spite of using a large aerial high on the chimney. Some days the signal was so bad, it was unusable. In 2016 the aerial was blown away & replaced with a smaller one, with a strong steel mast, the signal was slightly weaker. A few months later our Sky satellite disk failed & was replaced, at the same time we asked the engineer to turn our terrestrial aerial from Auchmore to Rosemarie. To everyone's surprise this provided a satisfactory signal for the main channels (unlike Auchmore) but the others were poor. We have continued to use this but have supplemented it with Freesat using a Humax recorder which we think is excellent and better than Sky. Hope this helps.

We have a FM Omni aerial on our chimney in Conon Bridge with booster and struggle to receive FM radio stations. We wish we could receive the radio Scotland news for the Highlands and Islands which has such interesting bulletins. We know it is available on the Internet but we are a long way from the Dingwall exchange so there is a poor service. We wonder if investing in a larger aerial is worth while, do you have any suggestions.
