Below are all of John Persijn's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.My broadband areal is pointed to the Malvern transmitter, with signals relayed from Sutton Coldfield. Due to engineering work on the latter, my signals suddenly dropped to below the normal receiving level. This caused some of the channels to disappear. My request is, is it possible to warn people when the main transmitter will loose power for periods on end??

I am on the Malvern (Worcestershire)transmitter, which relays the Sutton Coldfield signals. My Freeview BBC channels went of the air tonight (13/11/2011)during Strictly too, like all the other commentators mentioned above.Those people could not have the same problem all at once at the same time!! I have done a few retunes as perscribed, but no positive results. Also the other programs went to "widescreen mode" wiping off the subtitels in the process. I think there is nothing wrong with our aerials or equipment. It is the transmitter that is playing up big time!!!All these problems started after Switchover. I had an analogue TV fed through a digital converter box and it worked fine for years! Until now!! Freeview needs to address the problem better, perhaps with TV announcements prior to engineering work!!

Malvern
I have for several weeks now problems with TV Channel 4 on Freeview breaking up during transmission. I am on the Malvern transmitter with vertical polarised aerial (wideband). Some other channels, like Channel 5 and other ITV channels are doing it too, but less severe. No problems with BBC channels. Is this due to work on the Malvern transmitter, change-over to digital, or due to some trees in the way of the signal??? Date : 30/07/2011 Postcode WR14 1RA.
