My TV reception/aerial is screwed!
Yes, that's right - on the downstairs (cry pal) it's OK, however on BlueBell Hill - upstairs - around five to 11 in the eve., a couple of weeks ago all the channels tunred to a red square - I thought I'd retune, as clearly something was up - I think it is the aerial (which is hidden behind a partition here in the loft - and after wiggling it you get nothing - interestingly before it was 5, UKTV History etc that were bad - but now all I get is:
Five - which I do care about for H&a UKTV History ITV1 - after that retune has moved to 800 - is it Meridian or London? As the back end of the aerial faces cry. pal. But usually, 800=other local region (and in this case it is the opposite to downstairs) so 800 up here may well be Carlton. And that's all I get! Alex |

Alex (/QUOTE) Do you have a freeview box down stairs too??? If not try your box downstairs if it works fine picks up everything then your connection upstairs has gone out of whack if its the same downstairs you may need to move your aerial. If that doesnt help try another box, if still the same upgrade your aerial. Nokia's tuners dont like subtle changes in transmitter power, and or aerial alignment. Mine hates it! (nokia 9850t) |

I retuned the upstairs one and it is all a-OK.
Downstairs has never been problematic as Cry. Pal gives everything, whereas BBH doesen't, as I am too far away from BBH, but cannot get the hight for CP upstairs. Alex |
