Hi,
My aerial, installed more than 20 years ago, collects the signal from Crystal Palace. My postcode is SS5 4BZ. I have a commercial signal booster in the loft, and have always had a good picture on analogue, on the 5 channels, and a good picture on digital on the main channels, but not on the extra channels.
Since retuning the digital signal, I can still see the main channels, plus a few of the extra channel, but on many of the extra channels there is a lot of pixilation of the pictures and some channels show nothing at all.
Should I have the aerial replaced, and should I replace it with an aerial aimed at Sudbury to improve the received transmissions?

Hi,
I currenly have my aerial aimed at London, it is about 30 yrs old, and receive a very good picture on Freeview for BBC channels only. My post code is SS5 4BZ. I can get analogue signals for all channels, including channel 5, but picture quality is not as good as it used to be.
My question is, when London analogue is turned off will I get ITV,Channel 4 and Channel 5 via the same aerial, or will I have to invest in a new aerial aimed towards Sudbury to carry on getting the programmes plus others from Freeview.
I already have Freesat, but would also like to have the choice to watch some programmes on Freeview which are not transmitted on freesat.
My sister lives next door, and has an aerial aimed at Sudbury and is able to receive all the Freeview programmes.
