Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why are different frequencies more sensitive to the wind blowing the aerial around? Analogue BBC1 and Channel 4 hold up well even when there's wind. ITV1 has variable ghosting in the wind, and BBC2 is the worst - i get a complete loss of picture even with light wind!
After switchover, when the muxes move to the old analogue frequencies, maybe they will also suffer from dropouts? SDN, which gets BBC2's old frequency, might be the worst affected for me...

Mark Harrison - just a thought but the 64QAM channels may be more susceptible to multipath reception which is possible at your location if there are any good size buildings further away from the mast but sending a comparable signal to your direct signal by reflection as they could be better illuminated. In that case it may be advantageous to point your antenna at the reflection so long as the source is going to be permanent. Checking your analogue reception(while you can) may show up ghosting so this could be the issue.

For most of the afternoon, BBC1 analogue kept flickering (like a loose connector) and occasionally flipping to a different feed that was 4:3 instead of 16:9, and slightly delayed relative to the 'normal' feed. It happened several times during Total Wipeout.
The flickers could have been caused by my aerial or connectors, but that would NOT cause it to flip to a delayed feed! It's almost as if the Emergency Rebroadcaster kept activating for some reason perhaps they're preparing to switch the transmitter to digital?

CHRIS BLAKEY: Mux1 is replaced by MuxBBCA on a new frequency (C47) and MuxA changes frequency to C52+ (vacated by Mux1). On analogue BBC2 is switched off permanently and ITV1 changes frequency to C51. You should therefore avoid setting timers to record any Mux1 or MuxA digital channel or analogue BBC2 or ITV1. The remaining digital Muxes and analogue BBC1, C4 and C5 continue to transmit on the existing frequencies until 21st September 2011. Note that on 7th September all channels might be off air for a while prior to 6AM .

I have 3 TV's connected to a splitter box which also boosts the signal from my aerial in the loft.
Recentley i lost a group of channels after a lot of messing and repositioning of the aerial i now have these channels back with reasnoble signal. However, i am now unable to view more than one TV at once or even have the aerial plugged into the digi box/digi tv without the images sticking and cracking up.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how i can fix it?

Emma: You are getting exactly what you would expect with a loft aerial. Move the aerial to the roof if you want reliable Freeview reception.
You didn't provide a postcode, so I can't be any more specific.

Thomas: I'm not sure what you mean. BBC One analogue broadcasts in 14:9, not 16:9. On analogue there is part of the broadcast (half of line 12) that is used to indicate the aspect ratio of the rest of the picture, if you have some forms of interference the set can miss the information and get the aspect ratio wrong.
I would expect this is more likely than your proposal.

My postcode is LS6 3NW. The aerial cannot be moved outside as the property is rented and the landlord won't move the aerial. (It's already been asked)

Briantist: Sorry, what I meant was that every so often, it looked like BBC1 was losing its analogue feed and rebroadcasting from another transmitter (perhaps a standby Freeview box tuned to Belmont). This would explain the delay, and also the 4:3 instead of 14:9 picture; Freeview boxes by default are set to pan and scan.
I made a video of it, but I'm reluctant to post on Youtube because of copyright concerns...
