I am sorry Brian, but these reports would indicate a widespread problem, the fact is that people from all over the region are suffering the same problems which in many cases commenced at the same time, how can that be attributed to anything but a transmitter fault?
Why are some channels okay, and others not, surely this would rule out local equipment problems?
I have looked at the links you posted but that still did not address the issue.

I have a Topfield PVR in the bedroom, a Pansonic PVR and new LG TV in the living room and a Hauppage freeview card in the PC, they are all suffering channel loss/quality issues.
They run off a Televes high gain antenna on a big pole with a SLX 4 amp in the loft.
They all used to work fine.
By putting a netbook with a USB tuner right at the antenna, the signal strength I am getting is down on past performance. My stubby aerial with the USB tuner now gets nothing at all.
Ireally do not think the problem is at my end.

"ALL: Please see Two frequency interference"
This is not relevant, I did recieve them

Brian, thanks for your replies, I thought I would tell you the latest, I had a trusted local aerial company come out today (quite windy) and check my system, the only signals were on MUXB and no faults were found.
A second aerial was rigged but this suffered the same signal loss, it would appear that some fast growing conifers planted on common land behind our propery have become a barrier to all the lower frequency transmissions as the signal was fluctuating constantly in line with the trees blowing in the wind.
The aerial is already on a sixteen foot mast and cannot be moved into a position with a clear view whilst in the boundary of our property.
£60 worse off and no signal, perhaps the money would have been better spent hiring a chainsaw!
I can only hope the changes in March help, or if that fails have another go in 2012 when I can try the London signal.

Thanks Brian, that may be the next step, we already have a Sky+ service but I may need to upgrade to a 60cm dish as the signal is not always the greatest, I need to run two more cables from the LNB to the study and the bedroom.
As they say, easy come, easy go!

Our signal also went two days ago five channels are perfect, the rest very poor.
Nothing has changed with our system and no local interference.
