She gets picture pixelation, and sound glitches randomly, maybe 4-5 per hour. Less than 75m away is the Alton, Hants Police Station.
Are the police interfering with her? :-)

JimF: I don't really know about the other residents; there are 6 flats on the system, so 5 other tenants, but I'm only on nodding aquaintance, and M-i-L hardly ever goes out her front door.
The system includes dual satellite feeds to each flat, so the others may just use the satellite feed. Unfortunately, M-i-L is too old to learn even something as simple as a Satellite set-top box.
The TV man who visited confirmed that the antenna is on Crystal Palace, so we're holding fire until that completes digital migration.

I had assumed that since M-i-L lives in Alton that her TV would pick up the Alton Relay. However, the antenna is on CP, so the TV ended up with an assortment of channels, mostly from CP, but others from the Alton Relay and even some from Hannington.
I'd tried to add ITV1 on C60 thinking I'd get it from the Relay, but the TV found nothing on C60 at all.

Can I fit an antenna that will receive Hannington but reject Crystal Palace?
Crystal palace is 90° to my antenna, and almost twice as far away, but my PVR tunes mostly to Crystal Palace, and the signal if often poor quality.
My PVR doesn't have the facility to tune stations manually. I can tune to an individual mux, but then I lose all the other channels.

I cannot tune the channels on Hannington C32. When I try a manual C32 scan, it shows Signal Strenth 66% but quality 0%. No channels are found.
C39 also has 66% strength, but 100% quality/.
So what's going on with C32?
If you want to concentrate on a single channel, it's BBC Four HD that I miss most.
Incidentally, this affects both my Panasonic TX-L24C5B and my SONY KDL-40HX803 (on different antennas)

Thanks, jb38
I'd looked all over for clues as to the problem. Just didn't see that "from March 2014"...

Alton
My mother-in-law appears to have lost the channels now on C60.
She always had problems with ITV1 on C59 but now it has moved further away from the C57 group which works fine. I suspect a band-pass filter in the communal (flats) distribution mechanism. However, the building supervisor (the builder) is probably not man enough for the task.
Where can we turn for help?
