DIGITAL TV

[chas2008]

i cant be the only person with this issue,yes i have Googled..I can only recieve BBC channels when tuning TV & DVD ,the opinion seems to be an aerial upgrade but mine is only about 10 years old and the BBC DVT channels it is recieving are spot on 150% no problems. I have tried plugging the aerial direct into the Tv with no diference.
Any suggestions?

i sometimes lose the itv channels too, they seem to go when weather conds are bad..aerial ok as all other channels fine...a problem with the signal strength from transmitter ??? we are switching in June..hoping things will improve when all transmissions are full strength

Nice to know what TV?
I had good reception on BBC and ITV when I first got Digital many moons ago. Had to eventually get a better external arial to get the rest.

Two possible reasons come to mind....

1) Aerials are tuned to receive signals centred around a certain frequency and yours is tuned to receive the frequencies the BBC channels are transmitted on but it is rubbish at receiving the frequencies the other channels are on, solution... an aerial upgrade.

2) some areas that have yet to fully switch over are running the digital broadcasts at reduced power for certain frequency bands, and some are reduced in certain directions (ie, my local transmitter runs a reduced poser to the east of it). if this is the case for you then a decent, wide band aerial possibly with a mast head amp my help, but it may not!.

Realistically, without knowing exactly the location your house is in, what the surrounding terrain is like and where your local transmitter is all anyone can do on a website is take a good guess, you need a proper site survey down by a decent aerial installer.

reading all the forums & blurb i got the impresion that if you receive good quality analogue an upgrade isnt required,
