Rudy Walker: I note that Bisdale also uses C29, it is possible that you are getting periodic interference from there.

jan: Can I ask which Humax PVR you have? Some have problems during switchover due to the mixture of "2k" and "8k" modes. See TVs and boxes that do not support the 8k-mode | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Christopher Innes: You should already have excellent reception from Mendip, if you don't then you probably do need a new aerial.
You can use a group C/D, group E or a wideband aerial.
See Freeview reception - all about aerials | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for details of aerials.
At your location, as long as the aerial is on the roof a standard aerial will be perfectly fine - use satellite-grade coaxial cable for the best reception results.
A larger aerial may overload your receiver.
