Hi

My problem is I do not receive all Freeview channels. After much searching I was able to match the channels I get with a MUX list. This confirmed that I am getting PSB1 PSB2 PSB3 and Com5 (also known as BBCA, D3&4, BBCB and ARQA. but none of the others.

I had an aerial fitter come and check and he says that my existing ariel is fine and its interference from trees causing a loss of signal on the missing MUX channels. He deduced this by using a separate hand held aerial at height with his partner checking measurements on a sophisticated meter.

Whilst I am sure he is right is there any way that I can boost the signal to get the missing channels.

I am on the Sandy Transmitter and live in Northampton NN15BJ postcode.

Any help gratefully received Thanks Brian

Brian: Hi Steve and thanks for your response. The trees are a few hundred yards away in the grounds of the local hospital and very tall and mature. The aerial is on a tall pole which must be 10 feet tall mounted on the back of the house with the aerial at least apex height on the roof. It has clear line of sight to the trees which are on rising ground and therefore higher than my Aerial. It is a new property so no Chimney and no way of going higher. No further solution was offered. Do you know of anything else that could havew been suggested.

Thanks

Brian
