My Sky News and Dave (Com5 /ArqA) is weak and variable. All TVs on my aerial and the same next door on a different aerial. Like this for a month or so.

The Wrekin (Telford and Wrekin, England) transmitter

My Sky News and Dave (Com5 or ARQA) has lost signal.
This is worst in the morning (6am or so) and usually comes back mid morning.
I am 27km away from Wreking (SY4 1LR in Ruyton XI Towns)
I can see the transmitter from my bedroom window and the wide-band aerial is in the loft.
But I note it transmits on fairly low power - 10kw.
Other channels are 20kw.
Sutton Coldfield is further away (75km) but transmits at 200kw
Would I do better on that?
Or is there a problem at Wrekin?
Thanks
