mi amigo: I wonder if your aerial is pointing at the Crystal Palace transmitter?
If you are using the Hannington transmitter, you would get the poor reception you describe.
Please see Find out how to receive Freeview and Freeview HD | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for the details of the directions of the transmitters.
Overcast weather has no effect on reception at all.

ALAN PEACHEY: I am glad to hear that! There is no longer a clash going on, so everything should be stable for the next few years. At least until the 4G mobile services start up!

Stuart: Interesting. As the HD channels are carried together on a single multiplex, you would not expect problems with one service and everything else be OK.
I have a PC here that uses WMC on Windows 7 and all four channels (BBC One HD, BBC HD, ITV 1 HD and Channel 4 HD) perform OK.
I must admit that they didn't before the video card was upgraded on this particular machine.

Rosie Bliss: To quote Albert Einstein "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. "
Freeview was turned off last night from midnight to 6am, so you would not have any service.

Clive: You will need to see if you have any devices causing the interference. You can only really do this by disconnecting things until you work out what is causing the problem.
It can sometimes be as simple as a degraded "aerial fly cable" which you can replace for a few pounds.
