[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 506495, member: 250"] Some key points worth remembering are.. 1/ Not all TV transmitters output the same power. 2/ At various times the output of some transmitters is reduced due to maintenance work. 3/ Many physical property addresses can receive signals from more than one transmitter. 4/ Your TV aerial needs to be pointing the correct compass bearing AND the correct Horizontal or Vertical orientation for the transmitter you are trying to tune in to. e.g. from www.wolfbane.net/cgi-bin/tvd.exe Our nearest TV transmitter is approx 2miles away transmitting on a Vertical orientation, and compass bearing of 40 degrees. The transmitter we are tuned to is 17 miles away, on a horizontal orientation, and compass bearing of 52 degrees, which outputs 10x the power of our nearest transmitter. There is a third transmitter, 23 miles away, on a horizontal orientation, and compass bearing of 113 degrees, which outputs 100x the power of our nearest transmitter!! (we are in a dip and there are a lot of trees obscuring a direct line to the nearest transmitter!!) If our normal transmitter is off or running low power we pick up distorted / reduced signals from the other higher power transmitter 23 miles away! Guinness [/QUOTE]
