Hi,

I live in BH6 and have two Samsung LCD TV's both running off the same ariel. My older TV upstairs is absolutely fine but I appear to be having intermittent problems with picking up ITV/CH4/CH5, in fact the same channels as on the D3+4 Mux (C27 frequency).

Given that its fine some of the time but not others I think I can discount cabling, I've retuned/reset and downloaded latest firmware updates. Can anyone suggest what it could be?

Thanks, James

Yes my older Samsung upstairs doesn't experience any problems now although it used to experience some signalling problems when downstairs previously, but can't recall the channels.

The newer Samsung downstairs is perfect most of the time its generally in the evenings that we experience the problems but then that's when we're watching the TV, our kids monopolise it before then on different channels.

So from what you're saying the signal strength is lower downstairs? Do you have an suggestions? Our ariel is internally mounted currently but needs to mounted outside soon as we're looking at having the loft converted. This feeds into a splitter which feeds a number of rooms.

Channels affected are all ITV/CH4/CH5 variations (e.g. plus one etc).
