brian fisher : Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? What signal strength and quality readings do you get on the affected channels? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted coverage etc.

Tony staples: You should be able to get good reception from either Seagry Court (roughly to the East from your location) or Mendip (roughly South West), which direction does your aerial point? Mendip has recently changed frequencies and may now require a wideband aerial to be fitted if you currently have an older grouped aerial (this can be done free of charge if you don't have satellite or cable - see link below for the Freeview Advice Line).
