We put this system in 5 years ago and it's not been touched since, this was a maintenance inspection in preparation for the winter. As a precaution we had planned to change the LNB on inspection the plastic carrier was about to fail so this was replaced as well. Should be good for another 5 years now.

Be aware changes to Freeview are taking place for 4G and 5G mobile phone networks, if you loose channels you will need to retune your freeview reciever dates and areas are shown on the map below.

What is 700MHz clearance?

In November 2014 Ofcom announced its decision to reallocate some of the airwaves used by Freeview to mobile services. A similar process is being carried out across Europe, as spectrum is reassigned to meet a predicted increase in demand for mobile data. As a result, some Freeview channels will need to move to new frequencies. This process is known as 700MHz clearance.

How will clearance affect viewers and channel providers?

Most Freeview viewers will simply need to retune their TV equipment when this change takes place in their area. However, Ofcom has stated that between 140,000 - 270,000 homes may also need to either replace or realign their aerial to continue receiving all available channels.

As part of 700MHz clearance, Ofcom states that:

14-20m homes will need to retune their TV equipment
100,000 -160,000 homes may need to replace their aerial
40,000 - 110,000 may need to have their aerial realigned
A small number of households may need to change TV platform

Most Freeview viewers are familiar with retuning and do so from time-to-time to update their channel line-up - where TV equipment does not do this automatically. In some cases, more than one retune may be required where clearance takes place in multiple stages.

Aerial changes are most likely to be needed where TV services are broadcast in the aerial group C/D, which uses the 700MHz frequency band. However, most homes using C/D aerials should continue to receive reliable signals after clearance

Adverse Reception conditions across South East England

The CAI has today (Wednesday 1st November) received a number of calls from members regarding the loss of TV reception for large numbers of viewers in the South East. The perception is that transmitters have developed faults – this we know to be rare – apart from planned engineering works that are listed on a number of broadcast operator web sites.

In fact the loss of reception is down to unusual atmospheric conditions resulting in high levels of interference from other sources. The CAI can only advise that viewers are told that the effects of this interference are beyond their control and that they should be patient and wait for the issue to resolve itself. This could last for a few days.

Customer lost TV signal aerial, mast & bracket all rotten and no access to fix new. So we overcame the problem with a non penetrating roof mount and new Aerial.
