Mike,
Thank you so much for your incredibly helpful and very interesting post. That's exactly the info I was interested to know about the changes coming over the next year.
More importantly - I'd never even thought of turning down the gain on my variable mast amp. I just did that, and magically I now have good quality reception on all muxes, with a very strong signal on the recently unreceivable Mux 2! Oddly, back in 2007 I had pretty rough reception without strong amplification, so I guess other things have changed in the meanwhile. Looks like I was indeed getting analogue overload somehow after the recent Hannington mast improvements.
Many thanks for all the help here - much appreciated. I'll try later completely removing the amp (I just turned down the gain a bit for now) - but am conscious that when it's not beautifully sunny I may need just a little amplification anyway.

Dreadfully weak signal tonight (Meridian) in the BN7 area (Lewes).
Does anyone know why? We have no digital - just analogue transmission to aerial in roof.
We are getting black lines, sound breaks and frozen picture plus 'no signal' or 'weak signal' flashes on a black screen. It has been going on since 8 pm this evening and continuing (it is now almost 10 pm). Other channels (BBC 1, 2 and Ch 4 are unaffected)

Hi I am having trouble setting up my freeview bow to see all the channels. I can easily get the 5 analogue channels but the only digital ones I get are the itv3, 5 usa band. I have tried manually searching for the frequencies and multiplexes but still no signal. I live at RG21 is there something wrong with my antenna our is there another problem
Thanks
Tim

I bought my first reeview HD box 8 days ago. Tuned in perfectly and HD works a treat. Now when I switch to HD, the EPG shows it, but there is no display. Rescanned the channels and now they do not show up. Not sure if this is a transmitter issue, or down to the new box so any adice greatly received
Post code is rg10 9tt, and I believe I am on Hannington. I did write down the BBC1 details of 16qam, LCN1 and 506000kHz

I did notice the Mux2 problems starting a while back (too far to remember accurately) but suspect during the last re-tune. Before that I had reasonable reception. I have tried removing the amp completely, the signal strength drops a little, but the quality is then showing 0% however from a 'viewing' perspective there is no real change. Strangely last night (around 8pm) there was almost no break up of ITV1 yet the quality was still 5% - I can't remember the last time we had it so good :-). However today it's breaking up again. As I am only about 10 miles from Hannington, would it be worth trying to attenuate my signal - or should I just wait until April 2012?

JohnFol: You're actually using the Crystal Palace transmitter. Hannington does not yet transmit HD signals. Results for HD services are expected to be variable at that postcode - they're half the power of the other digital transmissions from Crystal Palace.
The prediction for Hannington is poorer than that for Crystal Palace at that address. I'd stick with CP.
HD service will not improve noticeably until Crystal Palace completes switchover on 18 April next year.

Gary: You are not predicted to get a stable D3+4 (aka Mux 2) signal until Wednesday 22nd February 2012.
