Which transmitter is your aerial pointing at?

Steve, I have no idea! Crystal Palace I suppose? One day it's fine, next day we can't get any of these channels but I've retuned the tv and it seems ok for now.

The quality of signal that you receive is very much dependent on your own location and the location of the transmitter your aerial is pointed at, not to mention the weather and/or atmospheric conditions.

For example, if you live at the bottom of Hoe Lane and your aerial is pointed at Crystal Palace you may experience frequent problems!

We live in the Barley Ponds area so quite high up! I'll put it down to atmospheric conditions! Thanks a lot.

same with our radio clock I suppose, sometimes there's a signal for it other times not.
