kieran r: This transmitter is analogue only until next year when it closes. Digital services are from the next-door Crystal Palace transmitter.

Living in Woking. WE had really good reception on all channels but in the last week we have lost ITV and C4 with 'bad signal'. What has changed?

Chris: Given that the current weather conditions are heavy rain, this will effect satellite reception. This may be the case for anywhere between minutes and hours.
