Mel Broom: & bruce:
And do NOT retune when you have no signal or pixellated pictures as this usually just clears your correct tuning. If you have retuned, you'll have to repeat it, maybe several times as you won't know when your signals will be normal.
In addition to which, there is also some variable weather related Tropospheric Ducting causing interference to wanted signals from distant transmitters.
