[QUOTE="Alan Vickers, post: 396671, member: 256180"] The advice that signal reception can vary from street to street is very relevant. At this location the aerial is on the Pontop Pike transmitter. There are mumerous local problems with signal because of large blocks of flats being in the line of sight so much so that in some cases there are 2 or 3 aerials 'stacked' one on top of each otherr . A number of houses in the adjacent street are unable to receive a good signal from Pontop Pike and have aerials on the Bilsdale transmitter and these aerials are at almost 90 degrees to the Pontop Pike aerials. This means that the Bilsdale signals can be received at some strength on the side of Pontop Pike aerials, and vice-versa, which causes problems with tuning the TVs. As far as I am aware there is no such thing as a 'Freeview aerial' which can sometimes be seen advertuised. The important thing is to have an aerial which suits the grouping currently received , bearing in mind that this grouping may change when changeover occurs and try and see that it will be suitable for this change also.
