rob: Thanks for the update on the situation, and although the aerials you have chosen for use are not of the type I would recommend for reception in situations such as yours, basically on the grounds that any deviations in the angle of the signal being received by a high gain aerial, generally results in the signal output levels fluctuating to a much higher degree than would be experienced from such as a Log periodic.
Of course that said, it all depends on how good the tuner in the receiver is, as some are much better than others at coping with this sort of thing based on the effectiveness (speed) of the auto-gain circuitry as well as the quality of the decoder.
However, as your aerial installation is in the loft, this makes things much easier as far as "trial and error" is concerned, insomuch that if you do experience periods of picture glitching etc, you could try temporarily (if) replacing the DMX10 with a log and see if this improves the situation, if though it doesn't, then the problem is being caused by factors outwith your control and which there is basically no cure for.
Yes, maybe you could post update once the installation is completed, making a note of the strength / quality levels received from the various multiplexes and keeping it away for future reference, likewise carrying out a further check at a later date after the season has changed purely to see if anything has altered.

Hi Dave and Jb38
So far i managed to cure Channel 44 by adjusting the Labgear Tri Boom areial that i got for a fiver from screw fix last year.. it was pointing to CP in the loft but the signal has always abit iffy... thats why wideband areials dont really work on channel group A transmitters.... BUT turned it to Hannington and a little tweaking here and there and a paitence of a saint too.. Got it all 90% but channel 44 at 70%ish its better than nothing as i worked for sky anything above 50% is ok..ish. I shall install that areial outside in spring should get abit more gain... (fingers crossed) I will deffintley buy a group A for CP. I had an old areial standard 18 element group A its no good for freeview....least i tried.One thing that bothers me is using the 26dB masthead amp....will it be too much in future? tried 16dB masthead amp..... got almost nothing except BBc stations. thats my trial and error done... safer in the loft than on the roof!!! least i know where i have to point the aerials for sure!... but i like to say thank you for you helpful information I do apperiate it.. Dads now happy to have BBC South today and i am happy with Meridian Tonight..

Roll on summer when we get change of weather that affect TV signals...... i mean in the old days used to get slight snow or venition blind effect like watching 405 lines on 625 colour... there's a word for it but cannot spell it..... opps.. that does affect digital in a way of blocky and squealing sound... that does my hearing aid in.... blooming hurts my ears....

jb38: SATAS the shop i buy my aerial bits and bobs.. when i worked for sky i used to get all my cables from them.... a nice guy called mike has told me a Triax log 28 will be the very best i can use for my area which Dave and JB38 has to me i cannot go wrong with them I hope. will be getting them both aerials replaced with logs..... will keep you all informed my findings and signal strengths
wish me luck

rob: Yes, please do, as what you have been told by the person (Mike) in the SATAS shop is perfectly correct, because speaking as an RF equipment engineer of many years standing (40+), I can say with an element of confidence that if the combination of a Log coupled into a booster of around 20dB's or so does not give satisfactory results in your particular location, then nothing will.
The problem with areas such as yours being, that reception can change over a relatively short period of time, whereby a high gain (group) aerial can, at the time of installation, have the edge signal strength wise over that of a Log, but though this is generally at the expense of the stability level of the signal being received, for reasons mentioned in my previous postings.

We have experienced interference with picture and sound since last November. We have Freeview via a rooftop aerial and only the one TV. A filter was fitted by the company AT800 to rule out 4G interference but we still get the problem. It has been suggested that we need an attenuator fitted as our signal is too strong. Is there a reason why the signal has become too strong since last November having never experienced problems before?

Marian Wilson: There could be a number of possible reasons for your problem, however, the reasons referred to cannot be assessed as being applicable or not without having knowledge of your location, this preferably given in the form of a post code or one from a nearby shop/post office, this info enabling access to details of the transmitter that covers your area.

So, we live in Kingsclere, 3 or 4 miles from Hannington aerial. We have a youview box from BT. How do I change BBC and ITV news in HD so that we are getting local news and not the Kent news we are currently getting.? Thank you.

Claire Blunden: You don't.
If the signal strength screen, whilst on BBC One HD and ITV HD, says you are tuned to UHF channel 39 (618MHz or 618.2MHz) then you are indeed receiving the signal from Hannington.

We now seem to have QVC HD on COM8 from Hannington.
I hope it gets used for something more useful in future.
