Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) Full Freeview transmitThursday 16 June 2011 11:31PM

Hi thought I'd post an update
Today a colleague living in Amersham Bucks who had never had any Freeview problems reports he is unable to use freeview for anything other than BBC parliment during the last week.
This falls in line with issues I know about my self at postcode SL2 2NN and my brother living 1 mile north):
Over the weekend 11 - 12 June my brother (1 mile north), had terrible reception on BBC channels. Where I, in the proceeding week had issues with all freeview having very poor reception. But by Sunday he couldn't watch BBC at all and came to my house to watch F1 where my freeview reception of BBC was perfect?
But I keep loosing ITV but he now says this work OK for him and BBC is a bigger issue. I still have no HD channels (signal went down to unviewable levels more than 1 month ago) Had been prefect for 3 month prior to this.
Commencing 6 June all freeview channels were poor and remain flaky.
Friday 6 May BBC 1 and 2 came back up... other ones still dead but came back later that day according to my brother I noticed ITV Ch 4 and 5 just about working but breaking up a bit over the weekend. My brother at his address (1 mile north) reporting he had seen the exact issues with similar timings during that timeframe.
But in bringing these back up, they killed all HD channels which had been faultless for 2 months, now breaking up really badly all the time.
Retuned the panasonic middle of last week after having the nag onscreen for about a week and get a great range of 10 out of 10 to 1 out of 10 on different muxes....
Brilliantly with BBC 1 and 2, ITV, ch4 ,ch5 being some of the weakest BUT its ok coz the porn and gambling rubbish no one watches come out at 10 out of 10 for signal strength and have NEVER gone off air in more than 5 years even with the silly playing the do all day long at crystal palace but pretend they don't

Hi, thought I mention freeview issues again in SL2 2NN area West Slough (nr burnham)
For 5 weeks I have had no ITV, no Ch4, no Ch5, to start with BBC had also fallen to unwatchable levels and remained like this for around 8 to 10 days. BBC is back but the other still 100% missing
Checking every now and then to see if they have stopped messing about....
ch 25 85% signal strength 100% quality
ch 33 85% signal strength 100% quality
ch 21 20% signal strength 0% quality
when will someone actually notice they don't know what they are doing ?

By 8 May ITV Ch 4 and 5 just about working but breaking up a bit.
My brother at his address (1 mile north) reporting he had see the exact same change with the same timings.
But in bringing these back up, they killed all HD channels which had been faultless for 2 months now breaking up really badly all the time.
