Don Pedley:
Apologies, the transmitter had been having Planned Engineering and there are currently no reported faults so your signals should be back to normal. However do note the points in my previous post.

Don Pedley: In addition to the points made by Chris.SE, the Findon transmitter got a big power boost at digital switchover (DSO) in 2012. It is possible that in some situations a booster was fitted in the days of analogue (prior to DSO) and that post-DSO it is not required and could potentially result in too high a signal level.
If the booster is on the roof then any 5G filter must be fitted before it. That is, the cable comes out the aerial, into the filter, out the filter and into the booster. Restore TV should send a technician out free of charge to fit the filter on the roof. As part of the job, he will check the signal levels and, if necessary, remove the booster. Thus, such a scenario is a way of getting the booster removed by a technician for no charge.
If the booster is to allow the signal to be fed to more than one room then that will change things in terms of having it removed. The same still applies as to the filter going before it, and if it is on the roof then Restore TV should send someone to fit it at their expense.
