Dave Lindsay: Yes, you are quite correct! I just noticed the error when your posting querying the info came in, the error caused by not having altered the height referred to.
Of course that takes Shatton Edge out of the equation thereby leaving Hope as the only option other than Freesat, although it will be interesting to find out if anything is indicated on the signal bars after C28 has been entered as it will be rather odd if nothing is.

To be honest, I just roughly aligned the aerial in the same direction as all the other ones on the rooftops I could see while up there. Thaks for the info about manual tuning and I'll give it a go later today. Our cottage is the last on the left as you go up Cave Dale so position wise probably not the best. Because it will be used as a holiday let, it's quite important that I get this fixed. Lastly, the TV I'm using is a few years old now and has a built in analog and digital tuner. Not sure about availability of a signal strength screen though,,,

Johan: Unfortunately Google Earth is restricted to covering Pindale Road and not Cave Dale, and so in this case that facility cannot be used to assess the situation.
If you have aligned your aerial to that of the others seen on the rooftops then on the face of it that would appear to be OK, but though when dealing with a signal from a low powered transmitter such as Hope, and especially when located in an iffy area, then the aerial really requires to be peaked on the signal, although the fact of you receiving the ITV channels rather indicates that it cant be too far out.
As far as the signal strength check is concerned, this is accessed by going into the TV's set up menu and selecting DTV or DVB tuning, this then followed by selecting "manual tune" and entering C28 into the box but NOT followed by pressing search or scan, as on most equipment if any signal is being received it will appear on the strength / quality bars.
That said, although most TV's or boxes offer a manual tuning facility there are a few around that doesn't, and in that case this procedure will not work.
Two points I would like to know. (1) when you refer to an aerial with a signal booster are you meaning that the booster is integrated within the aerial or is it positioned elsewhere? and irrespective of whether integrated or not what dB gain is the booster rated at.
(2) Numerous trees are seen in the area referred to, is your aerial facing into same?

Wow you guys are really helpful and thanks for the help. The aerial is mounted on the roof on a very long pole attached to the chimney breast. Some of the other aerials along Pindale road are actually mounted lower than ours. The booster I'm referring to is external and mounted in a box on the pole with an accompanying power supply in the house to power it. Gain is max 15dB. I'm heading back with a compass so if you know the angle to point it to that would be really helpful. Once again, thank you very much for the help so far.

Johan : The bearing to the Hope transmitter is 81 degrees.

Right, I managed to get it to work. My TV does not have a manual channel selector / scanner but I turned the aerial anticlockwise by a few degrees and it is noticeably pointing more left than all the others on pin dale road. I also had to tilt the nose down a bit. We get all the BBC tv and radio channels now along with PSB2 group. At least I don't have to fork out more money to buy a freesat receiver and dish. Thank you to all of you. Dave Lindsey and jb38 Follow us on twitter @cavedalecottage and I'll reply with a discount code for our booking system. If you don't fancy using it yourself, you could pass it on to someone else
