I live in the outer fringes of the Hanningtontransmitter (postcode GU46 7TH). I believe the signal in this area is suppressed and there are some geographical issues (hills, trees and so forth) as well. We have a professionally fitted high gainaerial and a distribution amp feeding 3 TVs. Reception was acceptable although the ITV channels on Mux 2 were pretty poor and Mux C (only for Dave) was frequently unwatchable.
I was happy to hang on for switchover and the accompanying better signal in the hope of avoiding having to go satellite or cable.
However, something changed a couple of months back such that Mux 1 reception is now so poor as to be virtually unwatchable, and Mux 2 cant be received at all. Conversely, Mux C now comes in loud and clear. The rest is pretty much as was. I cant think its a hardware problem as its the same on all the TVs in the house and anyway, why would Mux C simultaneously show a dramatic improvement?

Any suggestions welcome.
