Sky mix and a number of other have been impossible to watch for much of the time over the last 3 months. It would not be so bad but I live within sight of the at . From my location in St Ippolyts I can put a clean Amateur TV into Sandy than Arqiva can put into St Ippolyts. Perhaps it is time to invest in some new feeder or rebuild the RF PA?

Phillip Philinder:

Sky Mix is carried on the ArqA which for one reason or another you may not be receiving as well as some of the other multiplexes. As you haven't named any of the "other" , it's impossible to say or conclude whether there are possibly similar problems with the other multiplexes.

has been on Planned on and off for several weeks (along with many other transmitters) that may be one reason, others may be some sort of , maybe from a new/upgraded phone , maybe something else local to you.

Now, if for example you can only "see" the top of the Sandy Heath mast, then if they are currently operating on the Reserve (lower down the mast), then the terrain or any local obstructions, trees etc. may be affecting your . Whilst you haven't given a full postcode, it's unlikely that terrain is the particular problem in St. Ippolyts unless your aerial is very low down.

The tone of your post suggests you may be a radio amateur, so I assume that you've checked obvious things such as you aerial still pointing correctly (almost due N) and no damage to the coax and/or water ingress to that or the aerial connections. Such problems could cause reception problem with different multiplexes depending on the precise fault.
How old is the aerial, is it a Group T or , or a Group K?
The latter will obviously reduce the chance of interference from any new/upgraded phone masts now operating in the band. There are several such masts in your vicinity that may be.

I assume that you've also checked that you are still correctly tuned to Sandy Heath's UHF channels and not inadvertently got tuned to any other you might get signals from either under normal or lift conditions if you retuned when you had or badly pixelated pictures.
Sandy Heath's UHF channels are , , , , , & that's in multiplex order -
BBCA/PSB1, D3&4/PSB2, BBCB HD/PSB3, SDN/COM4, ArqA/COM5, ArqB/COM6

Some further information about channels affected, signal strength and figures for all the multiplex and a full postcode as well as anything unusual about the immediate vicinity (scaffolding etc) could be useful for us to may any helpful suggestions or advice.
