Hi, having moved to the top of the rhondda, I have noticed that every night my freeview will stop working at about 9 pm. In the day it usually has a great picture, apart from some jumping in the heavy rain. But every night the picture goes. I have a roof mounted aerial and have tried moving it about but in the night the signal goes without fail. Also have sky and no problems with my dish, just freeview. Any suggestions?
