Just an augmentation of what's here. I recently moved to the Beacon Hill area; our aerial has an amplifier - not very high up and pointing at some buildings. The main SD muxes were okay most of the time, but the higher TV channels, inc HD, would regularly block - often to the point of being unwatchable.
I assumed the aerial installation was less than ideal so eventually called out an engineer. He said that the signal strength and quality was great but that there are a lot of fill-in transmitters in the area such that the TV and DTT box had picked up some of those channels.
All that had to be done was to find the manual tune option and select the channel numbers coming from Beacon Hill (40-47). These automatically replaced the numbers in their 30s that had been selected automatically.
