TNT Pic de Nore (Aude / Tarn)

Nauka -  
 Gil -
Hello,

I am located near Gaillac in the Tarn and I receive TNT via the Pic de Nore transmitter (south of Tarn). I have an external antenna (flat 46 dB) and my problem is that I frequently don't receive multiplex R6 (TF1, ARTE, etc.) and also R4 (M6, W9, etc.).

Like last night, reception was perfect, and tonight nothing at all, not even pixelated or choppy. I do receive R1 and R2 without any issues all the time.

I thought about moving my antenna a bit, and even with a shift: R1 and R2 are still perfect and still no R6 and R4.

Could this be due to a problem with the transmitter? Am I the only one experiencing this in this area?
Is there a more precise orientation adjustment to make for certain multiplexes?
I don't think I'm in a "hole" because sometimes it works without any issues.

I'm getting a bit desperate here, and I'm thinking about switching to my ISP for this because it's so frustrating.

Help!! :)

Thanks in advance.

    Good evening, theoretically your reception is 'green'
    I think your reception installation is the issue because you have good reception of channels r1 (channel 60) and r2 (31), so frequencies located at the top and bottom of the UHF band
    The problem is with channels: 57 and 46, other TNT channels from your transmitter: r3: 43, r5: 41 seem to be received correctly (it should be noted that the transmitters are managed by different operators on the same site and the emission power of r1 and r6, for example, can be very different)
    It may be that your antenna has too high a gain and saturates certain frequencies (too much signal kills the signal): the built-in amplifier of your antenna is probably the source of your problems, moreover, as a professional antenna specialist, I discourage their use: nothing replaces a good classic antenna correctly set up (especially in your case where you are neither in a difficult reception nor in direct reception from the transmitter)
    A good quality wideband rooftop antenna covering channels 21 to 69 should do the trick, make sure to use a TV cable with a maximum of 17 patc or vatc (inscribed along the cable and on the reels for sale) and completely copper with at least a braid and shielding and a good diameter central conductor
    Check with your neighbors, what are their installations like, classic antenna? Preamp or not?, do they have the same problems as you?
    You are covered by TNT with a signal that can be captured without issue with a rooftop antenna; adding an amplifier would jeopardize your chances of having good TNT reception
    My experience points to this source of the problem: your antenna and maybe also your TV cable
    But this cannot be a certainty, adjusting an antenna via the internet and diagnosing a problem cannot be effective 100%
    Check with your neighbors, the local antenna technician....
    Recommended solution: wideband rooftop antenna channels 21 to 69 + quality TV cable I hope I haven't been too tedious or too confusing in my response
    If you have other questions or need clarifications, do not hesitate
    Good evening

      No incidents reported on the transmitter regarding TDF source (except by you on tvnt.net).

      Could you please provide me with the brand and model or reference of your current antenna?
      Thank you.

      Newly residing in Azille in Aude, I would like to report that lines 3 and 5 are not working. I don't know who to notify, so maybe someone will be informed of this malfunction through this site.
      Sincerely, Myriam
