why is it that nearly every evening cannels like Dave, Pick E4+1 and most +1 channels start to Pixelate it is so annoying yet when I check again in the morning everything is fine,, tid is very frustrating because if I retune I then lose half my channels and have to retune again the next day...

John: Check your signal strength, could be too high or too low. If its very low, check your wiring - its likely to be your system. And never retune - your just losing the lock you had.

PO22 0EJ aerial clear of chimney on roof,
I can't get any of the programmes on channel 28, I've had a new aerial & down lead with an aerial amplifier,
it seems to be atmospherics that affects it most, today 1020 mb, 31st October particularly bad, (witches flying about?)

Dave Jones:
From The Wrekin pages today
"This is very likely caused by the high atmospheric pressure affecting various parts of the country, causing lift conditions which allow signals from distant transmitters which cannot normally be received to interfere with the signals from the transmitter you normally use. Do not attempt to retune as this will delete all of your channels which are already correctly tuned. As this is an entirely natural phenomenon, all you can do is wait for the atmospheric conditions to return to normal."

What is the best RF channel to avoid interference. I am getting intermittent digital picture and sound break up normally after 8pm

John blake: You cant tune out 'interference'.
Its could be too high or low signal strength, or a loose connection. However, if its a regular problem, its most likely to be single source interference, which you can look up on this site.

I cannot get channel 95 in my area, my postcode is PO5 4JN, I believe that my local transmitter is Rowridge on the Isle of Wight.
I have re-tuned until suicide seemed a viable option. As far as I can make out, I SHOULD be able to receive channel 95, but can't for whatever reason, can you please advise?
It looks like it should have been available in this area as from September 2017.

Alan Womack: Firstly, you need a Freeview HD capable receiver. If you receive 101 BBC ONE HD, then you may be able to receive 095 FreeSports.
Looking at the digitaluk trade link below your question, there are two possible results from Rowridge.
Your 'Most Likely Transmitter' is Rowridge, horizontally polarised, which includes the COM8 Multiplex, which carries FreeSports.
Next in line is 'Alternative Transmitter', Rowridge VP, which is vertically polarised and does not transmit COM8.
If your aerial is mounted with its elements parallel to the ground (horizontal) you should be able to receive FreeSports; otherwise, probably not
Try a manual scan of UHF channel 37.
