I use a Daewoo DS700 Freeview STB. The BBC channels are OK but ITV and Chan 4 etc break up on sound and picture every so often. I had a new roof aerial which is supposed to be correct for digital in my area.
The Daewoo's status indicator varies between 4 and 8 on ITV chans, but stays on 10 on BBC.
I'm in Hertfordshire with aerial pointing to Crystal Palace. The aerial man says if he swings the aerial around towards Hemel Hempstead then I won't get analogue and digital won't improve.
He says people in my area sometimes find changing to a Panasonic STB gives better results, failing that he'll try putting aerial on a 10 ft pole instead of the present 6 ft.
Would I be wasting money by trying the Panasonic STB (I assume he means the TUCT 41) and/or raising the aerial? I'd be grateful for any advice.
