I know this is going to sound very strange, but as anyone else had a problem with the sound from emly more making like a stuttering noise? like a cd dose when it is scratched? is this due to a bad signal? can anyone shed any light on this for me it has happened a few times for a couple of months plus now, mainly on ITV 1? thanks for any help if given. I am in aspull Wigan and yes I know I should be using winter hill but sometimes like watching calendar news.

signal strength and quality are showing fine by the way the quality is reading full and the strength at about 3/4 my TV free view even reads bit errors and it is showing none.

mike Roberts: If I could just intrude with regards to your query, yes! under certain circumstances it could, but the only way you would know fr certain would be to enquire locally if anyone else has noticed the problem.

The other thing to keep in mind is that on going engineering work is in progress at the station, so there is the possibility of other problems cropping up now and again over the next week.

mike Roberts: I personally very much doubted that it would be your equipment at fault anyway, but unfortunately there isnt any other way to determine the cause of your complaint as even if your neighbours did view the same programme as yourself they may not even notice the problem, as some people are remarkably unobservant, plus the fact that time factor you mentioned between each of the occasions the problem occurred arent exactly close together.

Its one of these situations where you dont really have any option but to bide your time and see if it vanishes as the problem is caused by something outwith your control, and which I am reasonably sure will vanish as quick as it started.
