Now there is a banner stating that this channel is not available in our area. (Caldbeck transmitter).

Caldbeck transmits the local mux. on two directional frequencies. Are you not in either service area?
Ah well, back to pixellated QUEST for Motogp highlights

Why's it pixellated?
Do I presume you have a group A aerial, as everything is at the bottom of the band (11 muxes!), and no nasty cross-mod inducing overloaded amplifiers?

We're in a hollow with a significant hill blocking line of sight.

Why pixellated? - pass, it just is, generally denoting poor signal strength*, but +1 was ok prior.

Aerial? Never needed to know. It's in the loft. No amps though.

It's not a biggie, I'll just hook up the laptop assuming QUEST is available there. I haven't checked yet.
We don't watch much terrestrial TV these days but motorcycle racing (even just highlights) was a passion.
No need to delve further, I can't raise the enthusiasm for just one channel.
E.g there's 417Gb free of 500 on my FoxT2.

*The Jerez gp recorded reasonably well over 4 hours on Sunday, and after the first half hour of minor interruptions, the rest was trouble free.

You kinda get what you expect really. It should be outside.

Presumably everything else on the mux is as well?
