My postcode is TS26 0BH. Sky News (channel 82) reception has previously been fine but now I keep losing it. I keep getting No signal. In the last couple of days I have tried a full auto retune. The first half dozen times this did not work (only 80 TV channels were found), but then it did (100 TV channels were found) and reception was restored. But now it has gone again. So, in summary, it keeps coming and going - it seems worse in the morning. I have 4 digital TVs on the same aerial (with signal boosters) and they are all affected the same. So far as I can see, all other channels are O.k.

Anthony: Whilst it could potentially be single frequency interference, I will make one observation.
If you haven't had your "old" aerial replaced, it could be a Group A one. Of all Bilsdale's channels, COM5 is on the highest, it being C46. This is furthest "out of group" and therefore potentially your aerial may be least sensitive to it.
I covered this one previously:
Bilsdale (North Yorkshire, England) Full Freeview transmitter | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
Basically a Group A aerial is designed to be sensitive to Group A frequencies which are the bottom third. COM5 and other COM channels from Bilsdale are in the middle third of the band (Group B) and so the sensitivity isn't as great there.

I have been viewing skynews on my TV set with indoor aerial for years .ow but recently it does not show as a channel to watch.
I retuned my TV to update setting but still no luck. Skynews appears to have disappeared.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Mar: If your aerial can be set horizontally or vertically then it should be vertical - see:

If your TV has manual tuning then use it to try and restore COM5 multiplex (which carries Pick TV, Sky News and others). Tune to UHF channel 22.
Whilst on the manual tuning screen enter/select C22 (482MHz) but don't press the button to scan/add channels. Instead, wait and it should give a readout of strength/quality. This should allow you to position the aerial where the best signal is received, although you will need to ensure that the other four standard definition channels (and one HD channel, if applicable) are also good.
The channels to look at are:
PSB1 BBC One
PSB2 ITV
PSB3 BBC One HD
COM4 ITV3
COM5 Pick TV
COM6 4Music
