A TV station once on the Sky EPG lineup once took sky to court over the immense costs just for an EPG number.
Rapturetv was their name, Rapture Radio - The Dance Music Station

They tried what the BBC are about to start, kicking up against sky's ripping off.
Nothing became of it however.

Rowridge (Isle Of Wight, England) transmitter

Vertical or horizontal?
Back in 2012, I put a new aerial on our property and positioned it in the V polarity.
I did this as I see more strength with it like that.
But I am now seeing more services in the Horizontal position.

I presume these new H services will not move over to V?
I live about 12-15 miles away from Rowridge with it within sight, so does anyone else think a polarity change is probably suggested here?

Hi all,
Question regarding recent Rowridge changes.
I had a Band A aerial, upgraded to a T band aerial Medium gain aerial in April to bring back the moved channels.
I bought this aerial.
20 Element Yagi Medium Gain UHF TV Aerial Group T 8944467390996 | eBay

However, the signal is now blocky/sometimes not even there.
Will upgrading my aerial (rooftop) again to a high gain make a difference?
PO36 0NX is my address and from the roof, i can see the rowridge antenna so its lined up perfectly.

I've just installed a group t 20 element antenna to replace my group a antenna.
It has now allowed me to now see channels 55 and 56, however the signal is blocky.
Will upgrading to a high gain "typhoon" bring the channels back?
The antenna is perfectly aligned, i can visually see rowridge from my roof, it has LOS.
PO36 0NX.
