Winter Hill (Bolton, England) transmitter

Phil Hamnett: You are predicted to have 100% perfect reception of all services, I don't know who you are speaking to but they would appear to know nothing at all.

Can you please see Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for some suggestions.

If you have any boosters or amplifiers, remove them from your system, they will wreck your signals.

You *may* need to fit an attenuator, you can get these for about a fiver.

paul: It could be a number of things, the LNB could be faulty or the dish is not pointing at the satellites correctly.

Steve: Thus "After the PSB multiplexes switch at The Wrekin, the Arqiva multiplexes will remain on their pre-switchover frequencies and powers, and SDN will use a temporary frequency, for a short period before all three multiplexes adopt their final frequencies and powers during September 2011. During this transition period the commercial multiplexes will use the following frequencies: SDN ch49 and ch31 (both 2kW), Arqiva A ch53 (1kW), Arqiva B ch57 (1kW).
"

ArqB is now in 64QAM mode for the provision of Sky Sports 1 and 2 to BT Vision customers, and this reduces the power of the transmission effectively by 3dB.

Mr K: The signal strength is not really the most important thing, go by the signal quality.

If you have any booster, amplifiers or similar in your system, remove them as they tend to destroy the digital signals.

Sue Lewis: I would start by removing the booster, it will do nothing but destroy your digital signals.
