My System: Dreambox DM7020, Orbital 1m Dish, MTi 0.2dB Twin lnb, Technomate SG2200 motor. Rover DM16C Digimax & Rover DL4 Meters. | The analogue channels are usually 20-25dB stronger than the Digital Muxs although they do have a tendency to be at leat 3-4 channel frequencies away from the digital stuff. The problems with Digital is that its not all about out and out power as it is with analogue, its all to do with the quality of the signal. As long as the Digital output is around 35-40dB it can be launched onto a communal TV system without too many problems  At work we normally try to launch the analogue stuff at about 80dB and the Digital muxes at about 55-60dB The biggest problem we usually have is co-channel interference from one of the digital muxs effecting analogue channel 5, but only off one transmitter.

| Freeview is on Vertical polarisation, so you will have to go up on the roof again But before you do that, Five transmits on half power at Pendle Forest and so it is always going to be difficult to obtain with the same degree of reliability. http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SD825384 Try swapping over the attenuator for 18dB (or 18+3) and rescan. You may find the original selection was possibly a bit too severe for the higher frequencies (especially when it gets cloudy).

| Well scrap the last theory then, all muxes are on the same power. Is it a group C/D aerial ?

A little fact, back when Five was first testing and after it launched (I remember that Spice Girls video, I just wish my VCR could record!!!), I was the only person in the house to be able to get it from Pendle Forest (through the use of 2x boosters on a Labgear indoor aerial)!!!
