Freeview reception - all about aerials | Installing

Hi,I live in the Pendle Forest reception area,& more recently (3-4 months) have been experiencing total loss of signal,particularly on Ch 12 (Yesterday) & Ch 24 (ITV 4).Other channels randomly display colour 'bars' without loss of full picture.When I retune the TV - a 11 months old LG 42" LD450 - via the factory reset,it is all okay for a few days,& then starts acting up again.I have had an engineer take a look under warranty,& he thinks it could be an ariel problem.Is this likely,as the ariel isn't all that old,& the problems only really started with the LG,& is worse when it rains or snows?Thanks

JB38:Many thanks for your excellent input with the problem that I've been experiencing,& I will certainly carry out a signal strength/quality check,as recommended!
I'm relieved that you doubt that the LG is the root cause of the problems,& concur that the recent weather conditions are most likely causing a conflict of signals somewhere along the way.
Re the choice of transmitter...all the aerials in the vicinity aim at Winter Hill,but we are blighted by a neighbours chimney in that respect (tried the position & the chimney blocked the signal..!)- hence the direction towards Pendle Forrest..
Many thanks again for your input-it's greatly appreciated!
