Rob Laidlet: The transmitter engineering post directly above yours warms of planned engineering work affecting Bilsdale this week. It may be worth checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV as common problems like this can cause the signal strength to drop below a usable level when the transmitter power is reduced during engineering work. Do not attempt to retune.
