Paul: Waltham doesn't transmit Look North .It is the main transmitter for the East Midlands.Nottingham is a relay from it which also transmits central and BBC1 East.

If you're receiving Look North it's coming from Emley Moor in Yorkshire.

You want to try and get Waltham as it's the main transmitter.

Not all the multiplexes are on full power yet so some channels might break up .See this page

Milene: If you have had someone in recently and what they have provided does not work, I would ask them to return to "make good" the work.

Why have a lot of the freeview digital channels got such a low power output ? Reception of many channels is lousy, and yes my aerial, wiring and equipment is current and up-to-date (Humax & bang&Olufsen), while the main channels are OK (BBC..). Every time the wind blows a lot of these digital channels become a screen full of pixels.
Never had these problems with analogue.
Please BOOST power to the low ouput digital freeview stations. MORE POWER
MORE POWER, it's the case that with the weedy power output of many channels, digital tv sucks.

Alex W: On the Nottingham transmitter ALL the multiplexes are at the same power level, 400W.

If you have problems in the wind, your aerial is moving around and it most likley that there is a "dry joint" in the cable causing the signal to degrade. See Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

You didn't provide a full postcode, so I can't say more.

Darren: You should be able to have excllent reception of all multiplex, as shown at the top of the page all services are output at the same level.

There is a graph on the Aerial group performance | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page which may explain the levels you are receiving.

You would normally expect to use single-channel repeaters in a 30-flat distribution system with one amplification unit for each used channel.
