Hello, I live in Worcester and since Dec 2012, I have experienced random, intermittent signal quality problems, that I have never had prior to late Dec.
My TV set-up function tells me the TV signal is strong, but the signal quality is poor or non existent. Sometimes it seems to affect certain channels, sometimes all, but more often than not we are left with only awful shopping channels, which we don't watch anyway!
Can you tell me what is going on & what to do about it? Our TV ariel seems fine & on the days the signal quality doesn't drop out, we have an excellent picture.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you Andrew, I have checked out all your suggestions - the aeriel goes straight into the back of my Freeview enabled TV, no problems when it rains & the cable comes straight through the wall. We also have an amplifier and there have been no signal problems today despite the blizzards.
I am hoping Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited contact me soon to tell me it's a 4G issue as I'm totally stumped!!
Many thanks,
Jo Dee

jb38,
Thankyou for your replies. I have carried out a signal test & have ascertained the following: BBC1= ch53, ITV1=ch57, ITV3= ch50. We don't have HD channel 60.
Both signal strength & quality are good today, but I had no signal quality & thus no channels to watch whatsoever yesterday, until the second half of the England/Wales rugby match (and then I wished I hadn't!)

jb38,
Thank you for your response - I have only had a chance to speak to one neighbour so far, but he has satellite!
I will keep up the investigations and invest in a ladder.
Many thanks,
Jo

Hello,
The strangest thing - I have experienced absolutely no signal interference for the past few weeks. It stopped as abruptly as it began.
After experiencing months of misery of few or no channels, we are now back to the way we were - the weather conditions or my aerial apparently having nothing to do with the problems I was experiencing.
I am convinced the problem is external interference some how. I had students living next door to me for the duration of the problem (6 months) and they have now moved out - could their new gadgets have been affecting my signal somehow? If so, what can I do if this happens again?

Jb38 & Dave,
Thank you both for your replies. I'll try the radio tuning method when the signal drops again.
I live in a small mid terrace, so my neighbours are very close!
