John: Interesting.
The maps have been designed to allow you to see both town/city/village names and the roads. Other details has been turned off. I've just visually checked the above map and I can see the places and roads quite well...
You might find the maps on the prediction page more useful as you can change the selected transmitter. https://ukfree.tv/prediction and use your postcode.

Has anything changed, with respect to transmission, in the last month or so
We used to get good reception for All channels, including Sky news, and 6 High definition channels
Nor, just in the last few weeks, our reception on all channels is erratic to say the least
And virtually non existent for channel 132 Sky news
And the HD channels have disappeared
I have tried a retune, on all TVs
The Aerial is in good condition, and pointing the same way
And it's on multiple TVs, so it's not an issue with the TV itself
Any ideas?

Why is it when ever there is high pressure and clear weather (like tonight), we on the south coast (Chichester, the Witterings) can't get the signal. Its so annoying!

We experienced difficulties with picture pixilation and sound interruption on freeview channels from lunchtime till 9pm on the 30th Nov, Was there a problem, or was something or someone affecting broadcasts locally? Postcode RH13 0PU

A P West: There have been no reported faults or planned maintenance at Midhurst so local interference would seem a more likely explanation.

John:
Because of tropospheric layer inversion effects. It is perfectly normal and has been happening for many, many years with UHF signal transmissions. As it is a natural phenomenon there is nopthing anyone can do about it. DO NOT retune your equipment else you are very likely to lose even nmore channels.

We used to have HD via Midhurst. used to.
Now we've lost the lot because some bright spark forgot to include Midhurst in the COM7/8 transmitter upgrade before they took the channels away. The advice to use Crystal Palace is useless, because CP is over 40 miles away and we are in a poor reception area for that transmitter.
There's no timescale either as to when Midhurst will be upgraded, I'm left with a HD television that is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. But then, anybody who lives outside of the London centric area always gets a poor deal when it comes to any digital services.
