Hereford Voice Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 If you're living in the Belmont area and are wondering what the huge crane is being used for this morning, it is for the new installation of a 16 metre phase 8 pole with wrap around cabinet built around the base with new equipment cabinets and ancillary development for EE and HG3 on the land adjacent to Tesco Belmont.

Denise Lloyd Posted January 15, 2021 Report Posted January 15, 2021 I saw this going up when I went on my one trip of the week! Somebody please tell me it is sheer coincidence that since then I have had terrible trouble with my television signals - the only thing I can watch is Amazon and even that gets some interference. I know that 4G does cause signal problems but I am Kingstone and that is Belmont Sad old git that I am but I love my television!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote
megilleland Posted January 15, 2021 Report Posted January 15, 2021 Don't worry Denise, it's most probably 5G so you should be able to get good reception on anything you touch! Funny that they are outside older persons homes ie Brook Farm Court and another on Belmont Road at Priors Walk. 1 Quote
Denise Lloyd Posted January 16, 2021 Report Posted January 16, 2021 Well I am not can only watch Amazon at the moment and that even gets a bit dodgy sometimes! I think it could be a BT problem on the west of Hereford so many of my neighbours have sky so they do not have the same problem - oh well there are worse things happening in the world that's for sure!!

Denise Lloyd Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Following on from the television saga some time ago I spoke to my internet provider Plusnet and after much discussion the very pleasant man said I needed an ethernet cable because I was reaching the speed I was paying for which is top wack. Anyway bought cable and fixed said same and streaming was ok for about 75% of the time until of course last Monday which apart from Amazon was a total no no. After much checking on the internet it was suggested that a USB Powered Compact Signal Booster 4G might do the trick. I bought a SLX from Amazon for just over £13.00 and I am very pleased to say that it seems to do the trick. Hope this bit of info assists somebody else in a similar predicament. Wised up guys and gals might know all about these little devices but I did not so can only assume not everybody does. I was going to say we never had this problem with our black and white tv but we did because on very windy blustery days somebody would have to go out and fiddle around with the aerial and keep coming back in to see if it was better! 1 Quote

Well done Denise, more switched on with this techie stuff than me. Quote
Denise Lloyd Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Thank you K Butt sometimes I get it right and sometimes I do not - it is often trial and error. At the moment my tv is behaving better than it was last week. Quote
