Keith,
Many thanks for the emails - I do have an adjustable gain on this amplifier, but if I turn it back even a small amount - ITV3 freezes on the downstairs TV so I turned it up very slightly until ITV3 was usable again - no noticeable difference on the upstairs TV.
It does seem odd that the situation is worse now that the analogue signal has been switched off (I was hoping it would improve).

Thanks to the help on here, I have now successfully got both of my TVs working (just about useable ITV even on the TV upstairs, which has always been impossible to watch).
Oddly - ITV news is now the west midlands Central news (good for me as at last it now covers Stoke where I live!) - however, not quite sure how this works, as the signal is still from the Waltham Transmitter (East Midlands).
Alas BBC is still the East Midlands news.

The difference in power between the Analogue and Digital signals is interesting - I am on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent, and this is the only transmitter most of the people in my village can see.
I have always had to use a TV amplifier (rated at 18dB gain) to get any signal !
Since the retune on 31st August, my one TV downstairs now sometimes stutters, but the one upstairs (connected to the 18dB gain) is useless - picture freezes / stutters / breaks up on every single channel (yet before the switch over and retune, I could at least watch the channels on PSB1 MUX.
Any suggestions?
