Does The Cold Affrect Freeview Broadcasts?

No, sometimes people are not aware of the correct polarization of Radio/TV antennae and can get it wrong during installation, thats all.So are suggesting that the snow/ice has somehow turned the aerial through 90 degree's?
It was OK prior to this.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
Strange as it may seem, I has been known.;)That would be after they have looked at all the other TV aerials in the locality then... :rotfl:Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want?

Confucius he say..
Aerial rigging is not a trade where drunks last very long.
Freezing weather is not a time when there is a sudden ingress of liquid water into coax either.
And I say that the loss when an aerial is mounted with the wrong polarisation is way way more than 3dB0 -
I think it was Monday morning put the Tv on in the back kitchen and it came up saying there was no signal, that's on Freesat. Went and tried the Tv in the lounge which is Freeview and it was fine, Later in the day at teatime the Freesat was back working again, i don't know how long it had been off.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Freesat and Freeview use completely different technologies so that issue is unrelated to this one.0

Maybe so, however water ingress is a common problem in TV/Radio Coax.kwikbreaks wrote: »Freezing weather is not a time when there is a sudden ingress of liquid water into coax either.
Depends on the miss-alignment of the antenna. We can expect to see up to circa 20dB in some circumstances depending on the location, position of the antenna.kwikbreaks wrote: »And I say that the loss when an aerial is mounted with the wrong polarisation is way way more than 3dB

Freeview use the UHF band and are governed to the same laws of physics as the analogue TV signals.kwikbreaks wrote: »Freesat and Freeview use completely different technologies so that issue is unrelated to this one.
Freesat is higher in frequency circa 1200MHz. Different scenario here.

Indeed it is and often for the reasons you mention but in this case it is a sudden onset problem and water ingress is a gradual process. Very gradual when the water is solid as it is now.Maybe so, however water ingress is a common problem in TV/Radio Coax.
There is rather a large difference between 3dB and 20dB and in any event incorrect antenna installation is irrelevant because the problem onset was sudden and coincided with the recent high pressure so the cause is obvious.Depends on the miss-alignment of the antenna. We can expect to see up to circa 20dB in some circumstances depending on the location, position of the antenna.0
