We receive our signal from the Chattoin transmitter. We are down in a dip and so "out of line of site" of the transmitter. For the last three weeks we have had very poor analogue reception and little or no digital reception.
I have retuned our three digiboxes and still get only a few channels on each. The number and actualchannels received differ from box to box.
This situation also occurred back in at the start of February, the signal had returne by the time we returned from holiday at the end of February.
Can you tell us if this situation is caused by the upgrading of the transmitter or do we have some kind of intermittant fault on our aerial
Can

Mr. J. C. Richardson: I would say that your problem is most likely being caused by a combination of the engineering work (warning of weak BBC2 analogue at present) that is presently taking place in connection with the high power switchover in September 26th and the general seasonal atmospheric changes that's presently occurring that is causing odd reception problems to people in various areas.
Unfortunately, and as you will no doubt already know, there really isn't much that you can do to help this type unless you are prepared to experiment with your aerial to see if there any alternative positions a few feet away either side that gives a better signal strength, as in your type of situation there usually always is.
