I cannot get a decent signal quality on Mux2 from Hannington, signal strength is good greater than 90% but quality is just 5% All other Muxes and analog appear OK. What could be causing this? Could interference from another transmitter eg Guildford give me problems on just the one mux?

Yes, but why is the signal strenth reported as high, usually 100% but the quality so low?

Thanks

I did notice the Mux2 problems starting a while back (too far to remember accurately) but suspect during the last re-tune. Before that I had reasonable reception. I have tried removing the amp completely, the signal strength drops a little, but the quality is then showing 0% however from a 'viewing' perspective there is no real change. Strangely last night (around 8pm) there was almost no break up of ITV1 yet the quality was still 5% - I can't remember the last time we had it so good :-). However today it's breaking up again. As I am only about 10 miles from Hannington, would it be worth trying to attenuate my signal - or should I just wait until April 2012?
