Re: help no signal!
There are three transmitters serving the area around Truro. The two main transmitters at Caradon Hill (to the NE) & Redruth (to the SW), both require the receiving aerial to have its rods/elements horizontal to the ground. Then there is the Truro relay located above Boscawen Park. This requires the elements to be vertical to the ground. Most people in Truro itself will use this relay due to the local tapography, but as the output from it is only 4 watts, the likelyhood of you getting good reception with even minor obstructions is unlikely on a set top antenna. So if you dont have line of sight, a rooftop job is the only option.
