Below are all of Offbeat Dave's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Hmm. Following my post above last night, this morning nothing is being received here from the East Anglia transmitter (Ch68) so another retune led to PickTV etc (Ch53/60) picking up strongly enough to be received (quality 33%, strength 50%). I guess these fluctuations are down to atmospherics as the same thing has happened on all 3 of my TVs/receivers. Roll on 'power-up'!

Thanks for the suggestions posted here (I must 'google' problems before trying to resolve them myself!)
I had problems in the Spilsby area (PE23) near Skegness with Ch53/60 which meant my good lady couldn't enjoy her nightly PickTV fix without using the Sky box. The signal deteriorated to nothing here. I tried borrowed boosters etc. to no avail. HOWEVER, I am happy to report that a full retune of channels picked up the affected channels at a very decent signal strength and quality from the East Anglia transmitter and slotted them into their correct places in the line-up! This worked on all three receivers/TVs in the house. Hopefully this will hold as a solution until the power is cranked up on my 'correct' transmitter! Doesn't help those in the Lincoln area I guess though!
Once again, many thanks.
