Poor Freeview reception Sutton Coldfield transmitter

[developer]

Anyone experiencing poor signal from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter.

It was very windy here last night, but the aerial doesn't appear to have moved.

 

[mattc]

Yes but only on the small tele upstairs - it was rather windy though so expect it has settled down today.

My telly's are struggling now on Freeview, though on Freesat all is well.

 

[mattc]

how long has your aerial been in place. ours re placed a year or 2 ago and the chap showed me where the water had enterd the cable and had slowly corroded the connection.

 

[developer]

It's been up there a couple of years now so anything's possible.

Aye, that's why the Freesat uses the dish, not the aerial. I wasnea suggesting the Freeview shuld be ok just cus the Freesat is at the noo .

The coax had been knocked out of the wall socket by Santa Claus's erection

Doh! And I was about to blame it on the pikeys for nicking the transmitter.

It's funny how a signal can travel mile upon mile through air from the transmitter to the aerial, but not through a few inches of air when the coax is unplugged!

Glad you're sorted!

Santa Claus's erection

Forgot to add:

Is it Christmas Eve already?

Or are you suffering from a premature erection problem?
