Shirley: There are engineering works at Dover so one possibility is that these are resulting in the Hythe transmitter losing reception.

kelvin p: I would certainly give it a go and see if it cures the issue.
Should you have any signal/distribution amplifier then any filter must be fitted before it. Where this is on the roof, tell Restore TV (the organisation that supplies filters), and they should send a technician to fit one for you.

Nicholas Anderson: Because they are on the PSB3 / "BBC B" multiplex:

PSB3 is the multiplex which carries all HD channels. It broadcasts using the DVB-T2 standard, whereas the other five main Freeview multiplexes use the earlier DVB-T standard.
Older sets lack ability to receive DVB-T2 signals. A "HD tuner" is therefore one which can receive both DVB-T and DVB-T2.

Nicholas Anderson: The TNT coverage predictor is here:
Arcom (ex-CSA)
It won't accept addresses in the Channel Islands. However, if you enter a French postcode it will show a pin with a house symbol on, as well as pins for each transmitter which is predicted to be available at the location. Below the map is a breakdown of the multiplexes from each transmitter, including UHF channel numbers.
Hover your mouse over the house symbol. A blue dot should appear at the base of the pin. Drag the blue dot to a place in the Channel Islands you wish to see prediction for and it will give a prediction for that location.
