Hi Peter

Can you please let me know which area in Auckland you are located in?
We can then have a look at transmitter options and how the Aerial should be aligned (vertical or horizontal)

Cheers
Joshua

Where was your antenna pointing to before the issues occurred? Approx estimation at the transmitter used.

There could be some environmental impacts on the signal path this could be trees, buildings, traffic, construction or strong wind which could have readjusted the aerial over time.

I see from your profile you are using a Zinwell620 STB. Having had two of these that failed withing 2 years I would suggest you try another (known to be good) STB. If that works it would eliminate the aerial system as the problem. If it doesn't then you have an antenna problem. I've always had problems with Zinwell units after about 12 months use, so I bought a Sony TV and Panasonic recorder and never had a problem now in 5+ years.

if it is a zinwell fault replacing the green capacitors at a dollar each may do the trick or replace the box with something else
