Channel 5 problems
Hi,
I can receive most freeview channels fine. However, Channel 5 breaks up, loss of sound and so on. Is this normal?

Hi,
Aerial, booster (4 room feed) etc was installed by a local firm. According to the Sony VTX-D800U, signal and quality are maxed out.
Should I get the firm back?

Do you know which transmitter your aerial is on?

Are you sure it's only CH5 that is affected?.
Take a look here ,this is MUX.A and if it is an aerial/reception issue I would have thought these channels would also be giving you problems.

It's a small possibility, but still a possibility. A cable fault could cause a reflected signal in the cable which could result in just one multiplex being weaker than the others. Try it in another room.

When was the aerial put up?
With spring / summer here it is possible any trees / leaves have grown in the way.
These have a weird effect on signals and can cause individual mux's to drop out.

Hi,
QVC is giving problems, but I don't have many of the others.
What would be the solution?
Cheers,
Ian
