Digital has been transmitted from Rivock Edge for years  Polarisation is different on relays like Rivock. Elements should be vertical for Rivock and horizontal for Emley. |

This site will answer your questions - I think??? www.aerialsandtv.com/index.html or at least make you give up and call in an aerial man. |

The BBC channels are the worst, sometimes particularly in the evening |

I used to have a problem with digital freeview reception when I was using an old onDigital box - frequent picture blockiness and sound breakup. When I stopped using it after getting a tv with tuner built in, the problem stopped. No problem now with digital reception. I think I read online somewhere that they couldn't handle a strong signal, and needed something to weaken the signal a bit! Don't know if that might be another explanation for the problem, but I just checked signal strength and quality on my tv menu and it gives BBC1 and 2 maximum ratings. Not sure which transmitter my aerial is pointing at though. |

I have noticed the BBC channels are the weakest signals, however I still manage to receive them (barely) on an indoor ariel p.s. Electrical motors such as those in PC fans can also cause interference blocking reception of some channels! |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) tried bypassing the booster and its alot worse cant get ch 3 4 5 6 and several others so as i said before does somebody know a local aerial fitter etc that knows what they are doing so must av been going for quite a few years,as recalibrating the aerial and direction is in order. |
