I live in Kearns,

You probably have the best view of the aerials from there. straight
NNE/NE to the aerial through a valley.

There are pockets in the Campbelltown city Area that are going tohave
great trouble.expense with UHF.

OTOH, there is the Mt Ousley transmitter to also examine.

a suburb of Campbelltown, and when I first came, 9-10
years ago, I had a lot of trouble receiving Channel 2 (analogue).
So I upgraded the aerial & no problems since.

Details please?
aerial, mast, you/tv guy?, etc.

Aerial specialist put new aerial on roof; don't know any further details.

You must describe what the "digital noise" looks like too.

picture and sound break up. pixilation

** For how long ?

Just brief bursts of "noise" or continuous ?


brief bursts that keep breaking up the picture and sound so you cant
follow a conversation

** And you also posted:

" the noise often comes between 4:30 and 7:30, but at other times too of
course. "


** This is characteristic of RF impulse noise generated by switch arcing
when lighting and appliances are switched on and off. These switches may be
in your own home or neighbours homes or even street lighting.

It is the MOST COMMON problem experienced by viewers of DTV with inadequate
signals or aerial systems.

If you look at channel 7 analogue, you will see noise burst patterns in the
picture at the same time.

It is the BANE of those living in unit blocks and using indoor antennas.

thread somewhat amusing, considering the recent mention (in aus.comms?)

not everyone sits at their computer all day reading newsgropes..

that FTA digital TV - i.e. DVB-T - is perfectly fine!

depends where you are! I know ppl who have foxtel solely to get the FTA
channels reliably

I'm grateful that I have DVB-*C*, while even that gives the - very -
occasional hiccup. If I couldn't have DVB-C, I would get IPTV and only
if my TV screen broke, I would get DVB-T!

I'll have to have all that translated..

I will when I feel need arises just call a TV antennae/aerial guy they
should know. Not keen on getting on roof myself

I don't do that. Just put two backets onto peaked end of house(not
barge board)
and then put both aerials on top of a piep of thin pipe and lifted it
up and
clamped to the brackets. By "lift", I meant used and acro prop actually.

That's odd. I use individual.net and the link worked for me. Perhaps
the problem is with your news client.
