Below are all of John's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Excellent!! No Mux A, C and COMC reception from Sandy Heath again and this time its been going on for 3 weeks now. Just in time to miss the whole of the Tour de France. Don't you just love Freeview? It was all so much better before the great switchover when we only lost one or two channels for a couple of days if the atmospherics were playing up.
Does this mean that I'm going to be without half my channels until the end of August and possibly longer??

Yes...the aerial is still on the roof (new wideband in mid-2009) and all was fine (apart from the occasional weather-related issue) until we approached the switchover when channels started going missing at irregular intervals....always the same Mux's as are missing now. Everything settled down after the switchover until a few weeks ago when we started to lose channels and nothing has returned since. All other reception is perfect but if A, C and COM6 are all on very low power, I'm not really surprised that we aren't getting them. The question is...why are they on such low power and how long is it going to last?

We're the same (approx 5 miles South of Ely)....the Sandy Heath signal has been perfect since the switchover but has been getting progressively worse for the last couple of weeks.... seems to have gone back to the same dire state as it was when they were fiddling with it for months last year leading up to the switchover. Or it could just be another inversion but if the weather is going to ruin our viewing for more than 10% of the year as it is now then maybe someone ought to come up with a solution.
