Dear Brian, Our postcode is RG42 4UW. We have a class 2 wideband aerial mounted on our chimney. Unti recently it was pointed at Hannington and we had good Freeview reception. We were very keen to try FreeView HD so we recently got an aerial company to re-orient it to point at Crystal Palace. We get still get good Freeview reception but Freeview HD reception is flaky. Sometimes it is fine but other times it is non-existent or drops out a lot. Our PVR and TV show good strength but poor (and variable) 'quality' for the HD signal (regular signal is high strength and high quality). We already have an amplifier/splitter connected and are wondering if a better aerial (class 1) might help? I suspect that when Freeview HD switches to full power transmission we might also be okay but that is some time away. Any advice before we invest in a better aerial? Many thanks.
