Mike,
Indeed Ofcom do have the authority (if that's the right word) to request owners of any faulty equipment to have it fixed.
I guess we should have taken note that all the immediate neighbours have satellite dishes - and now we know why. It just didn't occur to us to ask about the TV signal strength when viewing the house!
The signal strength was measured by the Ofcom engineer both within the house and outside in the road. In both locations the strength was between 33% and 37% and way below what he expected for the area. He explained that with the signal strength so low there was insufficient headroom in the signal and therefore it would be prone to even the very slightest of interference.
Without a very significant increase of the signal strength - and thus more headroom in the signal, our viewing of analogue and digitial TV just isn't possible where we are.

@David Edwards: I've been having the same problem - everything just seems to be coming and going. i re-scanned the frequencies and it then dropped out ITV channels. Rescan later on in the day and i loose them but gain BBC. Stations that previously had good (ish) signal quality & strength (like 6 or 7/10) are now really low (1/10).
Anyone got any ideas? We somtimes get iffy reception, but never this bad or on this many channels...

Brian: I notice you haven't picked up Ofcom's change in their version 2.0 document for Meridian. Due to the release of channels 61 and 62, channels 39 and 40 are no longer going to be released. They have therefore moved BBC B to C39 (which is a current analogue channel) from C51 (which isn't).
Ofcom revised every existing document on 5 January 2011:

You can still find some of the old documents at Digital UK's almanac page:

We live in South Ham Basingstoke we have a freeview box as do quite a few neighbours. We are all experiencing problems with broken picture on many channals. Why is this happening please? This seems to happen after 5pm each day but is fine during the day.

Lodge: Please see Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - if the same thing happens at the same time as your neighbours then it could be something common to you all, such as faulty streetlight.
