Chris SE
Just come across your comments, thanks.
I think the mux on C31 is probaly the worst of the lot, though all are affected at times. When I lose BBC and ITV I have tried the HD mux, which does not work either.
I am talking about all my aerials. When one loses signal, so do the rest. I am wondering if a log periodic would be better, we have plenty of signal strength for one.

Chris SE. Thank you for your comments. I thought log periodic only came in wideband form, and that was also why they existed. I have experimented with one I reconstructed which was found in a skip, and found the perfomance at least matched that of a triboom yagi.
I see that the elements are spaced at different measurements, thus also having some of the director /reflector attributes of a yagi.
I test my aerials only 6ft above ground, and assume that at height their differences in performance will remain the same.

Thanks Chris.
It seems to me that freeview is going round in circles and that if we had retained the old group B aerials they would have done fine.
i do not understand how they can fit in all the channels nationwide when 48 is now the highest. I recall arguing that Aldeburgh could have been full freeview and was told not enough channels.

here on the east coast at this time of year we often get 'no signal' appear on screen . Why is it that the BBC and ITV multiplexes are the last to succumb to this?
