Below are all of Andy's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Chris.SE: Thank you for the comprehensive reply Chris.
TV reception has been a constant battle for years for me - my aerial was replaced about 3 years old and is good quality, was professionally installed and received good reception when fitted and as far as I can tell, there is no damage. I do have a splitter but once again, cannot see any issues and the channels I do receive are generally ok although there has been issues this past week on all channels.
As it's usually a summer thing when reception is at it's worst, I have often wondered if it is down to trees (I have a lot in my area) so it will be interesting to see if it improves once leaves start dropping .I haven't received anything about phone masts so will look into Restore TV.

Once again, thank you Chris. I contacted Restore TV, they've sent am amplifier which I fitted today and although there was some small improvement, it wasn't much. I fear that I won't get much better until October. Luckily I have Sky as well so not the end of the world but a bit frustrating as I do like to take and keep films off freeview in a Plex library. Not the end of the world though is it!

Apologies, yes, a filter. I did see some small improvement yesterday in a scan at least found the channels but sadly, no reception. I shall take your advice and contact Restore TV again.

I'm GU47 - I've never had a decent signal from ARQB and haven't had anything from PSB2 since May. I've foolishly retuned in frustration at times but manual retunign hasn't restored anything. Summer months have been variable at my location but I've never had the HD channels completely disappear for this long.
