Just a thought but would some sort of booster help?

 Just moved house recently, set my machine up and reception was very
 poor on a particular multiplex (the itv ch4 one) I assumed I'd need to
 rescan as maybe I need to be tuning to a different transmitter now.
 Did a full scan with MythTV but still poor reception and ITV missing.
 Tried a scan with dvb-utils 'scan uk-Mendip' and got the same result.

 I assumed the reception in this area was poor but I took the aerial
 out of the pc and plugged it into my lcd dtv and the reception was
 fine and it found all channels with a full signal strength (mythtv
 reports 20-25% strength)

 I was on mendip transmitter previously, moved further north to Bristol
 area and it still seems to be tuning to mendip(same freqs) and not the
 closer but weaker Kings Weston transmitter. I assume doing a full scan
 in myth would just choose the strongest signals or do I need to
 specify I want some mplexs from one transmitter and the others from
 another?

 Any advice greatly appreciated as I'm a bit stuck. Obviously it's not
 my aerial feed as my regular tv is fine.


 Thanks
