Yes it is the Belmont transmitter. I'll see about getting the aerial checked out

Yeah, that's the problem. We have an aerial stuck on the wall or chimney for over forty years, then we moan when it goes tits up.

Looked at aerial (not that I'm an expert on such things) couldn't see anything wrong there, coax as far as I could tell looked sound but wouldn't know how to test it and as it stretches across my front room through the window frame up to gutter level then across the front of my bungalow and my neighbours and on up his gable end to above roof height there's an awful lot of it! Finally found the problem was with the end that plugs into the TV. Somehow not only had it come slightly loose in the TV socket (suppose I must have caught it somehow) but it was insecure on the cable(don't know how that happened either) now all tightened up and secured and all good again.

No offence, Baza, but that really should have been the first thing you checked.
Still, it kept us amused for a while.

I totally agree Stemo but then I'm always wiser after the event 😉

Glad you found the problem Baza

That kept you busy for a while

My Freeview goes haywire every time we get heavy rain. I just read a book or watch stuff on Youtube instead. 

I'll get the ladders out...... One day....
