The Freeview channels are constantly changing for no known reason and its very annoying. I have had to retune my Panasonic TV 4 times in the last 24 hours. I have Never had any problems in the past. All of my TV's have been Panasonic, this one has had 3 new motherboard's and it is just 12 months old. I believe that the fault is with the Sandy Heath transmitter, please advise.

As per the Sandy Heath transmitter page on this site, it has been subject to Planned Engineering this week.
Sandy Heath transmitter: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 31/07/2023 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels [DUK]
It has not been stated if the work is yet complete.
Why were you retuning? if you were correctly tuned to start with and not been notified by any pop-up message that you need to retune, then retuning is rarely a good idea.
If you were correctly tuned, it is never advised to retune if you have no signal or badly pixellated pictures, this very often just clears the correct tuning. You then end up needing to retune again when signals are normal, and as you wont know when that might be you may have to try several times!
If you are correctly tuned, whether you have no signal, tropospheric interference or badly pixellated pictures then it's a case of waiting until conditions return to normal.
Do of course check that all your coax connections are plugged in correctly, and not corroded. That your aerial looks intact and is pointing in the correct direction and that the downlead is undamaged an not flapping about in the wind.

You don't say how often "sometimes" is or what sort of time of day, or how long "several" minutes may be.
It sounds more like electrical interference if starting with a click - something switching on or starting up and it runs for a while then stops. Is this a new problem?
Has it coincided with any new electrical devices or any being moved?
Also check all your coax connections are plugged in properly and corrosion free.
This could be the ignition on an older oil fired boiler or maybe some other appliance.
Yes a microwave running for a few minutes could do it.
All these things suggest either the appliance is faulty or needs suppression and also possibly your aerial feeds (coax etc) are not high quality double screened cable. BUT the sort of interference we are talking about can travel up the mains so it might not be being picked up by the coax etc.
