Re: signal strength of five from tacolneston?



If you tune around the uhf spectrum on a scanner you quite plainly hear
analogue and digital signals on the same channels all over the place, so I'd
not be surprised if this was not the main cause of this.

If you look at the comments from other Talconeston viewers at

<http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=TM131958>

you will see that degraded reception frequently happens, particularly
to multiplex A on channel 53. Multiplex A is broadcast at half the
power of Multiplexes 1 and 2, and is 64-QAM rather than 16-QAM for
Multiplexes B, C, and D, so will be the one most prone to reception
difficulties.

The most probable cause of the problem is interference from distant
transmitters operating on the same frequency.
