that is my post code but my location is approx 150 meters north and approx 25 meters lower. My BBc signal comes up showing low strength at times and then pictures sieze also i lose subtitles,I have cleared some nearby tree branches because of the leaves but the problem still occurs it does not to the same extent during the winter. the ariel is on the roof and looking along it in line there are no obvious obstructions, so is it due to low transmition strength,.

Sutton Coldfield
I live at B75 6LF.
I have a Digital Aerial located on the roof which is set to receive signal from the Sutton Coldfield Transmitter. I have a Digital Television with freeview included. I do not use analogue TV channels.
Over the last few weeks there has been an intermittent loss of signal for TV channels. This was happening very occasionally but is becoming more regular. The TV will be working perfectly fine and then both sound and vision will disappear. The TV displays NO SIGNAL and if I change channel, they all seem to be affected.
The loss of signal can be for a few seconds but can also last for a few minutes. The signal returns just as quickly as it disappears.
I am currently on leave so have had the TV on during the day. Yesterday (Sunday 5th June) I lost the signal six times in rapid succession-starting at 10am. Today (Monday 6th) the same thing happened again at just gone 10am- 3 losses of signal in rapid succession plus one lasting a lot longer. It then happened again at just after 11am.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how to remedy this. Thank-you.
