Hello. Like many posts above, many people in Purton are experiencing the same problem of loss of signal often when foggy conditions prevail as mentioned elsewhere. According to the map we are in a fringe area, but when I retune my TV I can receive Camb and Bucks (Look East) and London signal without problem. We have a TV with an aerial pointing at the Mendip (HTV) Transmitter, and never had a problem no matter what the weather. I suggest that those of you having problems turn their aerial around 180 degrees and try the Mendip transmitter.
On my TV I have two indicators, Signal strength, which was at the maximum of 10, and Signal Quality which was less than 2. Does this support the power reduction theory?
Looking at the map of the transmision area, parts of both Highworth and Purton look to be in a 'shadow', the white areas on the map. In Purtons' case this is probably Blunsdon Hill, though why tranmitters much further away still function OK is beyond me.
Like many others I find the silence from the transmitter authorities, frustrating.
