For some time I have been experiencing intermittent poor quality (with adequate signal strength) on the two DTG-3 muxes PSB1 and 2. Interestingly I have previously eliminated a source of domestic interference which was affecting PSB2 only. All the other muxes are perfect. This is more of a minor irritation than a serious problem but obviously affects the radio channels, and SD cricket on channel 4!
I am wondering whether these muxes are inherently more prone to interference for some reason, and if so what the cause could be.
Thanks in anticipation.

Chris.SE: Many thanks. Too soon to be sure but the cabling around the main set could be an issue. After a fiddle about to achieve as much separation as possible it is running at 100 quality on channel 27. We recently overhauled our roof set up as a new set upstairs was struggling. Weirdly the increase in power form Sandy Heath in recent years had caught us out! It's been a bit of a learning curve over the years. Basically the loft Ariel was fine when I took out a head amplifier which used to be needed. Fitted a new distributor and things seem generally very good. When we first got a digi box many years ago we eventually realised that our old roof aerial was the wrong one but picked up some signal from Waltham 180 degrees out so have to watch out for that! PE7 3TZ btw.

Hi Brian
I think I understand the changes in presentation of engineering following your filtering, but the info currently displayed for Sandy Heath doesn't look consistent with that to me. Am I missing something?
While writing, may I say thanks so much for the all the info, which I have been following with great interest in the run up to the promised land of digital TV on Freeview!
