BN1 TV signal (merged)

[8ace]

Can't get any pictures on the TV (digital or analogue) - anyone else?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yup, seems to have all crapped out here in BN1 - with the exception of analogue C4 & C5. How queer!

 

[Nibble]

BBC1, 2 ITV1 and CH4 all buggered on mine at moment.

Fine from Rowridge. Must be the Race Hill repeater.

Just using the postcode of the Post Office as typical BN1 postcode, it appears Digital Switchover isn't due for another 6 months.

Its a lovely day.

Go out for a walk.

 

[Badger]

All fine on Freesat

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

All back now. Panic over. Walk option averted

do people seriously still use the analogue signal?

My Freeview box doesn't pick up ITV1, Ch4 or Ch5. So, yes. I'm guessing I'll probably lose the lot come next March.

yup - used it last night as the digital signal was terrible - kept breaking up and the picture kept pixelating.

one of the few advantages of analogue over the (pre4sent low power version0 of digital is the robustness of the signal........................

try retuning the box (assuming you are using a set top box) and you should get all of them. Otherwise you could try changing the direction of your aerial so that it picks up a better signal.

Cheers, though retuning doesn't work. And had a TV bloke in last year fiddling with the aerial with the same result. TBH loss of ITV1, CH4 & CH5 is no great loss, still got the analogue to fall back on. Or I could stop being a cheapskate and get the Virgin cable linked up. That might work.

I'm pretty sure when they turn off the analogue signal the digital signal will be strengthened so you'll probably find you'll be able to pick them up.

Freeview TV

Is anybody having problems with Freeview in Hove/Brighton at the moment?

I can't get BBC 1 or 2, (diagnostics show 0 signal strength) but I can get ITV and C4. Other channels: some work, some don't.

 

[Sajerz]

Digital reception gone wrong here in BN4, can only get 10 channels of freeview and missing all bbc channels

 

[Hove Seagull]

I think its others too see: BN1 TV signal

You're not missing much on those 3 channels then.

Good point, well made.

Good point, well made.

Whilst it was made tongue in cheek, for me there is almost nothing worth watching on BBC1 or ITV1 - the only 2 things I can think I watch are F1 (which I tend to fall asleep in, even though I like it), and QI. I can think of nothing else I want to watch on the "main" channels.
