Martin Holland: R4 is tuned to 93.5 Mhz. Reception seems OK during the day but gets noisy during the late afternoon. I have to switch to mono about 15:30 - 16:30. R3, Classic FM and other FM stations are OK all the time. R4 used to be the most reliable signal. If all my FM stations were bad I'd get a new aerial but it is only R4. I'm perplexed.

Martin Holland: You are tuned to Wrotham. Looking at your location, the only other transmitter that might serve you is Guildford - I say might as I'm not familiar with the area, although with a roof-top aerial you might be able to receive something that a set-top won't.
Frequencies for BBC national FM transmitters are here:
BBC - Help receiving TV and radio - Transmitters
Guildford doesn't broadcast Classic, so you will probably only get it on 100.9 from Wrotham.
Is there something close to you in the direction of Wrotham such as a building or tree? If it's a directional aerial then it probably could do with pointing ENE-wards to Wrotham rather than at the Reigate transmitter - this could be your issue if it does point in the wrong direction.
If it is an omni-directional vertical dipole then be aware that the mast it is mounted on is likely to screen the signal a bit (cause a null). Make sure that it isn't in the direction you're trying to receive from.

I get frequent picture break up and freeze on Freeview BBC channels 1,2,and 80 and it is particularly bad today. All other channels are trouble free.I experience this with two different set top boxes including a BT Vision box which messages Freeview signal poor or of low quality. 50 yards away on a line with my roof top aerial and the transmitter is a large tree on public land. Please advise possible action.

Dr B J Goldsmith: In your general area Crystal Palace and Reigate would appear as if they might be strong and roughly in the same direction. Check to see that your receivers are tuned (for BBC standard definition services) to Reigate on UHF channel 60 rather than Crystal Palace on 23. This information is usually given on the signal strength screen.

steve j: Both Reigate (@ 6 miles) and Crystal Palace (@ 18 miles) transmitters cover your area and so either of the two log type aerials seen on the links would be suffice for requirements no matter what station was used.

steve j: WRT the issue with your Logik TV, I would certainly discount the obvious such as being tuned to the wrong transmitter.
The links which jb38 has provided are to ATV's site which contains a wealth of information on this stuff.
Other suppliers and products are available. I came across this one selling the 30 element Vision log at a very competitive price:
VISION Log Periodic W/B (30 Element) > AerialSat.com
They also do the "Super" 40 element model which I believe is the model that ATV sell as their "Log 40".

I lost ITV & C4, in my bedroom. I have rescanned and TV will not find it. Maib TV in living room is fine. Both are plugged into wall aerial sockets.
The aerial is a communal one in the roof.

We live on the south side of Oxted at RH8 0LG and our aerial points to the Heathfield transmitter from which we get 10/10 reception on all channels except Channel 49, which is measured at only 3/10 by our Freeview Box, and which gives intermittent breakups on Channel 4.
Why is this one channel of poor quality and what can I do about it?
I have looked at all four links suggested above and can find nothing that answers the question there.

David Curtis: Do you have a device such as a Sky box putting out an analogue signal on or near C49?
Has this always been the case?
I am wondering if you don't have line-of-sight. Crowborough is 15 miles away and sits on high ground which may be in the way.
