Retroflex Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Recently I have been gettiyng an Bad reception on all the ABC channel: HDTV, Perth and ABC2 -- this only happens at night, during the day the reception is fine. All the other channels are fine through the same aerial/system, and at any time during the night/day. Analogue TV through the same aerial is fine for ABC also. Is there anyone who is also experiencing this problem and/or is digital reception just worse at night?
alanh Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Retroflex, The ABC uses channel 12 for digital, many older antennas were not designed for this channel so as the signal strength reduces the digital signal breaks up the picture and sound. Read Get the Best Reception, Perth and read the links. AlanH
Guest splitter Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I dare say that if its at night the damper air is usually a factor when older antennas are concerned as the connections to them are corroded and the connections are poor. Saying that just a new antenna is not always the solution as many digital problems require the antenna to be moved to achieve a clean signal....Especially with all the new developments nowadays the environment is changing daily..oh and the valley behind the garage is not the best spot for an antenna as many a perth house has it there thanks to the cowboys out there!!!! GOOD LUCK
