Below are all of Chris W's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Is there some good reason why com7 and com8 are transmitted at reduced power? Living near Aldeburgh I am now getting a poorer signal on channel 56 than before and my nice new BT Youview box is struggling. Oddly my Sony bravia is ok.

Thanks for the feedback. I should have clarified that I was talking about getting the Channel 56 signal from Tacolneston from my location which is about halfway between Aldeburgh and Saxmundham. I am currently using a Televes DAT45 aerial which is quite high gain. Annoyingly my Sony Bravia TV will extract a stable signal from Channel 56 but my brand-new BT YouView box won't. I don't know whether a more expensive Humax box would do better?
It seems to me that it's a job not completed if despite all the channel reorganisation some channels will still have only limited reception!

I too find my BT YouView box to be less sensitive for Com 7 and 8. Do Humax boxes suffer from the same problem?

Please can someone confirm that Channel 56 from Tacolneston is down and advise when it may be restored. Or have I got a problem? Channel 55 is fine.
Thanks

Thanks for the Tacolneston advice. With no equipment changes the Channel 56 signal was off and on for me on Thursday/Friday (varying no signal at all to 90%) but stable since Saturday pm. Maybe there has been some 'tweaking' going on and I am right on the edge.

Hmm,. Channel 56 Tacolneston back to zero signal again, channel 55 (also a low power transmitter) is 95% signal. Something must be going on!

DAB is promoted as a country-wide service, but near Aldeburgh, Suffolk, DAB reception is almost impossible, even with a loft aerial. Surely there must be plans to address this?
