Tacolneston (Norfolk) TV Transmitter

John_Gray

Are you saying that your TV setup has been working perfectly ever since the "digital changeover" took place in Norfolk in Nov 2011, up until the time your TV setup went wrong in May 2012?

I'm with your previous correspondents in suspecting the aerial or its down-lead, and the only way you are going to resolve this is to get someone to measure the appropriate signal strengths at the plug, or yourself check the signal strength and signal quality of each multiplex/channel as shown on the set-top box. (This has nothing to do with retuning the box, BTW!)

OP obviously has problems with comprehension.

Have you actually asked other people instead of assuming this NFS attitude?

It would seem the other people in the country who have a "grump" tend to get things fixed

Severe storm in the the area, you may have got water in the aerial junction box and the coax down lead have you checked for ingress of moisture, are any of your neighbours experiencing the same problem.

Yes since the changeover and up to May and this storm everything was working ok!

'ingress of moisture' is not the case as we have had many dry spells since and no difference

So what are the signal strength and signal quality figures for each channel from the set-top box?

That is another assumption, like your assumption in post #1 that the transmitter needs to be fixed when it obviously does not - you haven't checked have you?

see here

signifies a question!

I understand now, we live in the driest part of the country and there had never been a flood in our area in 400 years. Until 2001 that is and we got 40-50cm of sh1tty water throughout the house and we can't get insurance for less than £1700 for the buildings. Still I guess the dry spell would have dried my house and your cables, aerial junctions etc, but apparently not my sense of humour.
I realise that the nature of the site is moneysaving but I would suggest that you get someone to check it out, mainly because if I advocate getting out the ladder then you will later claim that the said ladder couldn't possibly have dry rot since its been raining.

Edited: In post #1 you were stating NFN , now post #11 you are in NFS so presumably you are actually pointing at the Sudbury transmitter

A simple calculation tells us that the OP will be next asking "Does anybody know when the Tacolneston TV transmitter will be fixed?" again in February 2013 deja vu here
