Thx for reply Chris.SE, my postcode is BA14 0EY, i did check the signal strength on affected channels, and there down alot from usual, there around 50% and bit error level like 3 to 7, usually there ok(strength 80 and no errors), so will just wait for them to be put on normal power, thx

Thankyou for reply, yes we have a really large tree literally in line with aerial right next to us, but its been there like 20 years, not really caused a problem, i did get a filter sent from restore tv last year, also my amplifier has a built in filter that is meant to do same job, i have had issues last 5 years on and off, but just been worse lately, i bought new aerial and cable the other month, but no difference really, whats mad is, some days/wee or so it can be perfect, thx for reply.

Wow, what a awesome in depth post, thx very much, you gave me alot to think about, and yes you guess right, i live at the farthest house of the semi, one without the extension, we have the big shed at bottom of garden, the other house has a brick garage and shed, just for your info, that large tree is now almost twice as high and wide as it is on google and owned by the council, so the tree is going no where, now in winter our gardens swim in leaves from that tree, and we have asked council to lob and prune the tree, but no joy, i will look at doing something you said, thx alot for great post, cheers

Thx for post, our neighbour don't use there aerial, there on cable, and our aerial is very old on rooftop, and aint worked for years at all, so i just got loft aerial, and roof aerial goes straight through the tree.

I have had pixilation also the last week or more, i am Trowbridge also, been having it for months now on and off, tried all suggestions, new aerial cable etc, strange as sometimes it works, but not worked properly for a week or so, 0 to 55 signal strength.
