First experience of Freesat. Masses of stations. Baffled by the station numbering. Difficulty in getting 3 digits into remote fast enough.

Chris.SE:
Same company as originally fitted. Aerial on mast/pole above roof. He checked feed behind TV with meter and again in loft above signal splitter. Same result - C46 rubbish. Visual inspection of aerial from ground. Indicated that tinkering around with alignment might cause deterioration of other channels. This particular local area has always had dubious reception and changes from house to house. Lots of aerials have now disappeared and satellite dishes are to the fore. My immediate neighbour never watches the C46 stations - only 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 they say (......they have an HD TV!)
C46 reception has been variable but continuously rubbish. Sometimes that signal has some strength but zero quality.......according to TV's signal information. Second TV does not have quality indicator, just strength.
Reception of C46 improved with bad weather, if anything.

Thanks Chris.
I think Freesat will just about baffle my visitors. Fortunately I can switch back to Freeview easily on TV when they are here, so that they can use the conventional station numbers (.........they generally don't understand HD stations anyway and Freesat will be beyond them).
Pulled a Freesat station listing from here.............https://rxtvinfo.com/freesat-channel-list-uk

Me again. Heathfield transmitter. RH16 3RX.
As we progressed into winter my reception on on C46(674.0MHz) crashed. Virtually zero strength and zero quality and lots of bit error. Variable but useless. This has now improved slightly but very dodgy and unwatchable. However C47(682.0MHz) is now frequently crashing and I am having to switch to C41(634.0 MHz) to watch main terrestial channels.
Is it the weather?
