We get our TV signals from the Stockland Hill transmitter in Devon. We have to use an aerial in the loft due to restrictive covenants on the properties. Until April or thereabouts we had great reception. The transmitters were retuned when the BBC added HD to local news.

At that point, after the retune, we have found that the signal strength was poorer across the board but particularly so on the COM4/SDN multiplex.

A masthead amplified which included 4G/5G filters fixed everything except for SDN.

For BBC1 on channel 101 we get Signal Strength 96-98% Quality 98-100%

For 5USA on the SDN multiplex we have Signal Strength 90-92% Quality 0-45%

The Arq multiplexes are fine.

I'm not sure where to report the issue. Any suggestions or, indeed, thoughts on options to fix...?

Chris.SE: Many thanks. The issue has been for a couple of months following a retune required by the addition of local news to BBC HD channels.

Had a different aerial chap in yesterday and found a slightly better position for the loft aerial and seems to have resolved things for now. Thanks.
