C38 (610.0MHz) before switchover
Thursday 2 February 2012 8:02PM

The UK TV frequency map shows quite remarkable coverage for C36 and C38 :)
Poor signal in Ogwashi-Ukwu I'm told.

The retune on 21st worked OK and all expected channels are available from Rowridge. On my Sony KDL-32EX703 both signal strength and quality are reported as 100% for the HD channel.
However I notice that when the 'Info' is displayed the resolution shown flips back and forth between 1080p and 1080i even within a single programme.
Is this normal and if so what is the cause ?

Brian:
thanks again. Interesting but certainly no such troubles on my Sony KDL 32EX703 now at firmware version PKG4-110-EUL-0108 with a modest plate reflector aerial in the loft and still mounted horizontally .

Thanks Brian, I was checking it for a friend who was complaining of loss of some channels.
'Temporary' sounds ominous.

The reception map for location DT1 1PU and for the Rowridge transmitter now consists of only the grey background map and the single location marker with no overlays at all and no other markers. The terrain plot is OK. Is it me or is it you ? .

Thanks for the responses folks.

I have investigated further and found the same problem on someone else's PC using Internet Explorer.
I then tried using 'Edge' on that Windows 10 PC and it worked.
It's odd that the terrain plot works in Internet Explorer on both PCs but not the map view.
