John Alexander: BBC Four HD won't be expanding it's coverage any time soon as it is broadcast on a temporary commercial multiplex (COM7) which is only available from 30 main transmitters covering around 70% of the UK population. This arrangement is expected to remain until sometime around the end of the decade when the BBC want to cease SD transmissions which will free up capacity for all BBC channels to broadcast in HD with full national coverage.

As in email:
As you haven't given a full postcode, you may a;ready be in a weak signal area and then in addition it could well be current weather conditions affecting you, they have been causing Tropospheric Ducting affecting much of the south coast and southern parts of the country on Saturday and now extending into the Midlands and North of the country through Sunday including East Anglia. This causes interfering signals from distant transmitters in Europe or the UK to affect reception of your wanted signals. This can periodically last, seconds, minutes and sometimes much longer - Do NOT Retune.
There is nothing you can do about this apart from wait for conditions to change, or use online streaming if available.
IF you did retune, you be best manually retuning the UHF channels for your transmitter.
The BBC have issued warnings -
