Hi, i just recently bought a HD freeview box, and we live in a flat in the Castlemilk area surrounded by other buildings, so a communal aerial is the only way to get any pictures on the TV...but even with this i have not yet been able to get any HD channels even though the council installed just 2 years ago a new communal Ariel......do you think this power increase that's coming on the 22 of June will solve the matter.

I'm hoping it does because even getting another TV to run in the bedroom by splitting via a Ariel splitter is a nightmare as the signal just seems very weak at all times.

Thanks for any advice.

KMJ, Derby:Thanks for the info, i have always had quite a poor analogue signal even after the council installed a new communal Ariel, I'm lucky if i can run 1 TV with a really short cable distance from the wall to the TV...so i was hoping this power increase thing they willbe doing on the 22 June will help sort these problems out.

The problem is that in the direction of the transmitter(Blackhill) I'm at the bottom of a hill while goes up like a 3 large steps and on each one council houses are built...

Its always been nightmare to get even one TV working completely on all free view channels which i have yet never been able to do without some channels breaking up badly.

But fingers crossed for June 22. ;).

Well the big switch off and power increase tomorrow, hopefully this will sort out my low signal issues and possibly even help me get these HD channels that i cant get at present.

Fingers crossed.

Well what a difference, every channel is now has a full signal level and all 4 HD channels work perfectly.

Fantastic stuff. ;)
