Default Crap TV Signal

Anyone else round Matlock area suddenly getting crap TV reception? Digital signal virtually non-existant (although we don't use it anyway) and analogue is right funny interference and all.

Not around there but ours went pretty poor last night and it's still like it tonight. We have weird ghosting too but it looked like it was foreign I put it down to the ariel at first.

Maybe it's time for the tin foil hats....someone is tapping in

Good job we have plenty of DVDs that we need to watch

Always good to know that I'm getting value for money on my TV licence

The complexities of radio/ tv/weather signal transmission its fascinating. I still think its amazing that you can send a radio signal two thirds round the earth by bouncing it off the higher atmosphere

Is your signal coming from Stanton Moor? Despite living in Sheffield now my aerial is pointing towards the relay transmitter in Chesterfield and I barely have a digital signal. Even the radio channels are on their ****!

Dunno

Our digital reception has always been pap which is why we never use it. Get a better picture on analogue

Still we watched the Doom film instead....maybe would have been a wiser choice watching a wobbly wavy TV picture
