Reception from Emly Moor has been unwatchable since 14th March because of the high pressure.

Once London is fully converted we can expect some proper coverage of digital's shortcomings

Mark, are you saying that the inversion problems are caused by the remaining analogue transmissions? We have not had problems until the last week.

We recently got a new aerial because the old one was letting in water and had to fit an attenuator since the signal was too strong (we can see the transmitter from the roof).

Without the attenuator an automatic retune found Belmont first.

My reference to London converting was that reception problems will then get proper media coverage.

Actually, by reading the top of this page properly, I thought I had answered my own question and it is analogue signals giving the problems except that it says:

"The very weak digital signals that are a used (until digital switchover) for Freeview can be badly effected by interference from reflected signals from adjacent analogue transmissions."

Surely the digital signals are now as strong as they are going to get from Emley Moor?

The strength of signal at our end is pretty high. I seem to have solved our problem by plugging in an old indoor aerial. I suspect that the new rooftop one is too good and was picking up all sorts of rubbish from a long way away.
