High pressure causing channel loss through "Inversion" | FreeviMonday 26 March 2012 3:11PM

@KMJ, Derby, yes that would make more sense. What digital signal am I picking up from the Westcountry though? My aerial is pointing in a SW direction, so I can only assume it must be Stockland Hill, as Mendip would be more WNW direction from here & don't think Weymouth is powerful enough even in an inversion!

@KMJ, Derby Unfortunately the rubbish Freeview box that it's on doesn't give me that info, just that it is 738.000 MHZ
Looking at the maps on this site Stockland Hill can be picked up on parts of the Isle of Wight (to the south of here) but Mendip can be picked up in areas to the north of Portsmouth (Waterlooville area). So I guess it could potentially be either transmitter. No signal is being received at the moment so I can't check the local news unfortunately.

@Dave Lindsay & KMJ, Derby, thanks for that. Still pretty impressive for Mendip to reach here in Southsea at around 1m asl! :)

I have not had any problems with losing channels here in Portsmouth from Rowridge, but I also had channels added to my Freeview box in my bedroom (which uses an aerial in the loft). I got an extra ITV1, a Rabbit chat channel & ITV+1, wondering what transmitter it could have been picking up I went through the EPG to 6pm today to see what local news was on it & to my amazement it said "The Westcountry Tonight" ! This was a watchable signal last night too! Out of curiosity I switched the Freeview box off & scanned for analogue services & a very grainy BBC One came through on Channel 49, looking this up the only possible transmitter still operating analogue was Croydon!
