ITV Reception
My mother-in-law in Villiers Street is complaining that her ITV analogue reception is fuzzy. I just checked ours in Bengeo and it is fuzzy too. Does anyone know if this is a transmitter problem?

First time I have checked in a few days (don't really watch ITV much) - but it looks OK now - fuzzyness has gone.

I was in Albany Radio today. The guy there (Steve?) said there has been work going on on the Crystal Palace transmitter recently in readiness for the switch off of analogue and that they were transmitting at half power some of the time.

They may well be right. I just looked on MB-21

and under the "soon" section - "updates" CP is mentioned.
"updates" is used for major transmitter repair and, surprisingly, update work. As CP is in the middle of DSO work power reductions are inevitable.

DSO work at Crystal Palace continues and there will be periods of both reduced power and shutdown; this is currently expected to last until 26th October.
