Last night I decided to drag out the old freeview box so I could have some of the channels not available on fta satellite.
Got everything set up, scanned for channels (all found OK) and guess what, the reception was worse than terrible. This is in spite of being only 3 miles from the Kimberley (Nottingham) transmitter and within a direct line of sight.
(I can see it from our upstairs windows)
Last time I tried, I was in North Wales and only had to point the aerial in the general direction of Liverpool and the signal came booming in.
Surely I can't be too close to the transmitter??
What else am I doing wrong??
