Winter Hill (Bolton, England) transmitter

Having reception/tuning problems 1st April and today 6th April. Looking at the TV tuning the signal goes from strong to 'no signal' intermittently. Can't tune the TV - this is either interference or transmission testing/engineering. What is going on - this bass to be down to the transmission! Not good enough to be disrupted in this way.

Winter Hill (Bolton, England) transmitter

I have had a number of reception issues notably with my LG 'Smart' TV, but not so much with the Samsung HD Freeview box nor BT Vision box. I assume this is because of differences in the sensitivity of the equipment. This has been an issue for a few weeks and I am more than a little miffed about losing reception and having to retune in every way possible way, with factory resets, manual tuning, auto tuning using every permutation of cabling to get my TV to show anything that isn't at best pixelated or usually 'No Signal'. It is no coincidence that all these issues coincided with the Winter Hill 'engineering'. All that has been engineered is a loss of reception to facilitate a few phone users. The management of this has been appalling and the clowns responsible should be made accountable for this farce, hopefully by Ofcom! The signal strength and quality is insufficient where it was fine in the past. Although in Liverpool I can see the Winter Hill transmitter from my house and am in direct line of sight so I should be getting a clear signal and should not be an issue. Who is responsible for all this mess? As a licence payer I am not getting what I am paying for and the only reason more people are not complaining is because they are on cable or Sky and not terrestrial.
