I tried to watch Sky Sports 1 on Freeview on my BT Vision box today. I've been getting it fine for the last 6 months. Annoyingly the channel was now too weak to find. Is this also now broadcast on Arqiva B? I'm hoping the signal will get boosted or intereference will be removed soon otherwise I'll have to get a refund from BT on my subscription.

Annoyingly I only live 2 miles west of the transmitter!

Hi. I've given the tecnique a go of re-scanning with no aerial and that hasn't seemed to have worked.

I'm hoping playing round with the Tacolneston tranmitter at the end of this week may help with less interference:

Cheers for your help on a Sunday night Dave. I think you're right.

Digital UK says 'COM mux FEC change' in 2 days. I'm hoping all their playing around is going to correct things to how it was working last week.

I can see the Sudbury mast too which is less than 2 miles away. I pay good money to watch Sky Sports 1 which is also on ArqB with Film4. I'm still missing loads of channels. Way hoping it was just the fog but that's cleared now. If Sky isn't back by the end of the week guess I'll have to cancel my BT contract. Why are these guys mucking around with a system that worked? If it aint broke don't fix it.

Peter. I've got a brand new TV and new aerial. I live two miles from the transmitter and can't get Film4, Sky Sports, etc. I think it's the low power they're now transmitting the TV channels on channel 63. I'm resigned to the fact that I've lost these channels until June.

I'm not sure why they're broadcasting these channels on such low power. Do they think they'll interfere with the analog channels still being broadcast in London?

And they call this progress.
