In Oulton Broad TV reception is spasmodic with frequent loss of signal. I have a 3 year old roof mounted aerial and a new HD ready television set.
The constant loss of signal is making television watching tedious.
This is getting progressively worse, is it due to engineering works in preparation for the HD changeover.
Who owns the transmitters?

@ Mike Dimmick.
Thank you for your reply. The ownership answer is most interesting
.
I have none of the issues you suggest, snowy or herringbone. I have a good picture that simply cuts out to a silent blue swirly background signing 'no signal'.
This can continue for a minute or so before I get the picture/sound back.

Dear Mike.
This is turning into a saga.

The Freeview is within the television set. I do not have a box or a scart lead to fiddle with. I do not have central heating and my mobile is invariably in the car.
My computer modem lives in one place and does not move around the room.
I am currently doing a re-tune and I will do a log of the signal loss over the next 24 hrs.
Speak tomorrow

Another tedious update from OB.
Yesterday's re-tune seemed to have cured the problem albeit with sound cut-out of a few seconds, which was bearable as I could pretend all the speakers were stutterers.
That was yesterday!
Today I have reverted to the 'no signal' scenario - at 9.40am, 11am and 11.40am.
I know you said this should not occur on analogue but it is!

Whilst I know a 'lux' is a measurement of light emitted by a lamp I have no idea what a 'Mux' is. However as I can see Oulton Broad library, 200m across Lake Lothing, I guess I have to put up with its one Mux reading.
I await November 23 with heightened anticipation!
Thank you

Hello again after a long gap.

This day after stage one of the changeover my reception has been worse than it has been for months! And I was expecting at the least no change from the improved reception I was getting.

The outages are back, frequently and annoyingly.

I've looked....and none of those apply. I don't vacuum whilst watching TV and the fridge freezer has always been there during good and bad reception.

Maybe I'll wait until Nov 23 and see how it is then.
