Julian Taylor:
You are not predicted to receive signals from the Bradford West transmitter as it's a very low power relay. Your aerial should be pointing at the Emley Moor transmitter bearing 152 degrees (that's roughly SSE) with the rods horizontal.
Emley Moor is listen for Planned Engineering and so you may see problems periodically with pixellation or brief loss of signal.
As far as Radio reception goes I can't find any reported problems with DAB reception of BBC channels or FM Local stations. The Holme Moss transmitter is undergoing (and has been for some weeks) some aerial work, so Radios1-4 etc are on slightly reduced power.
There has also been some weather related interference which may have affected you periodically, that is predicted to clear up next week.
