Rob : Rob, I was awestruck to read all your posts, I've had exactly the same problems as you, and especially in the last month or two. I live in Bucks, but apparently we are under the Oxford signal whatever its' called too. Channels have been pixilated and broken up for weeks, and yesterday I lost lots of them to black screen. Bought new digibox and started off ok last night, but thismorning it's worse!! Got nothing really except BBC1. I retuned the old one yesterday and I went from about 70 channels down to about 10. Repeated and it's the same. I'm as angry as you! Any luck yet? (I read all your posts).

@ Rob,
Did you try the tinfoil shield thing? Seeing as the new TV downstairs works all digi channels fine, doesn't that mean the ariel's fine? So it must be something wrong in my room upstairs? The router is downstairs, the only thing is my TV is backing on to next door's bedroom wall, maybe they have equipment backing on to mine? Would that be it? I'm confused though because it's not ALL the time, just most of the time, and this new box I got is only a £20 one from Maplins. The message I get is 'bad or no signal.'
Any help please? I like to watch food network,Al Jazeera and RT news, and they have all not worked properly for weeks and weeks. But sometimes they do.WTH?!

2 days agoOXFORD transmitter - Over the next week Oxford main transmitter: TV (digital) Liable to interruption, Radio (analogue) working normally, Radio (digital) working normally. [DUK]".
Just read this post above, but can this be it when it's been happening for weeks/few months already? (Our neighbours actually haven't been here that long. I'll have to ask them if they have equipment behind my wall.)

rob: I HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER!!!!
Thanks for replying, my hubbie just told me that he's been turning off the booster thing in the sitting room every night and that is exactly when I lose the picture upstairs. We live on the very edge of the Oxfordshire area (Aylesbury) but still should get good signal.Apparently. When we had the new digital aerial fitted a few years back the guy also put in a booster thing where the aerial comes into the house behind the tv in the sitting room.It goes from there into the tv in that room. But when I found this out, I got him to test it, as like I said, he'd been turning it off every night coz the tv in there buzzes. When it is on, my digital channels upstairs are fab, when it's off, they pixilate and disappear!!! Try just getting a booster box thing, which just plugs into your main house aerial inlet? Do you live in an edgey area of the Oxford 'mast' too? Best wishes, Caz.x

I lost Al Jazeera and RT yesterday (28th Jan 2014) - the screen was just black. Today I bought a new freeview box and they are still pixilated and broken up and impossible to watch. (When I first installed it last night it was ok, but not thismorning. Again.)What can I do? It works on the main TV downstairs (new one, Digital channels incorporated). It WAS working on my tv upstairs until ystdy, I think it's a censor thing too, by GCHQ. I'm in the Oxford signal area.
