Tunbridge Wells (Kent, England) Full Freeview transmitter

I am trying to get Sky Sports through Top-Up TV in Tunbridge Wells but the signal seems non-existent on Frequency 45 which is seems to be using. Am I wasting my time trying? I have a new broadband aerial filtered to only receive transmissions from Tunbride Wells. All other channels except BBC4 are fine.

Brian - Thanks for that. All the problematic channels are on the same frequency.

The only other electrical items in the vicinity are :

1. DVD connected to Freeview box by Scart.
2. Disused Sky cable which used to be connected to a Sky box.

I have a wideband aerial. Any further thoughts - thanks.

Dismantled set up and started again with no other devices attached to freeview box and TV. There are no other electrical devices nearby. Could it be that the tuner in the freeview box is too weak to pick up this frequency with any strength or quality?

Whatever it is it can't be single frequency interference as there are no other devices around. Must be a problem with the (new) aerial.

Brian - Not at the moment. On the signal strength bar I'm getting about 5 (i.e. half way along) on most channels with signal quality being 8 to 10. On frequency 45 I'm getting signal strength 4, quality 4.

Brian - The answer is to get the TOTV pay channels do not point to Tunbridge Wells transmitter. With a different aerial pointing to Crystal Palace and a signal booster everything works fine.
