Re: [Merged]Freeview aerial installation

I am getting more stressed now over action aerials.

I've watched CH4 for about an hour through digital and BBC1 (digi box again) both glitched/pixelated about three times for a second over the hour, so about 6 freezes in two hours.

But BBC2 analogue has now corrected itself, picture 100% fine, haven't touched anything????

My digi boxes one in bedroom one in lounge used to read 50% for CH4, BBC1 and glitch every 10 mins. Sky Sports news, three and news were always 100% and still are. NOW ALL CHANNELS are 100% signal on both boxes yet I'm still getting odd freezes/glitches.

I have quiried why my aerial is roof level and not a foot higher like other 100 or so on estate, I was told no house opposite me like all of the others, I look up a road. Therefore no need to be a foot above my own roof. Also reading son techs machine show aerial sited fine.

Is my signal too strong and that is why I am still getting digital glitches or should my aerial be raised a foot?

When I complained about BBC2 they said call us Friday when you've had a chance to see if everything else OK, which is fair enough.

Engineer today said I am losing a lot of signal strength in my internal cables as in the loft the signal on his reader is very strong, yet at TV points it is losing a lot. These are two seperate cables, I am sure he was basically saying any more complaints and we'll say your wiring is the problem!

Help please before I have to call on friday again! I am tempted to say look its still not working just come and get all your stuff and refund me!
