We've been having the same problems as others over the past couple of days: high signal strength but low signal quality affecting all channels, but BBC and HD channels are worse.
Are other people still seeing the same problems?

Same story here at 43 Longdene Road.
I've tried a factory reset of our BT box but no change.
Looks like the transmitter still has problems. There doesn't seem to be an obvious customer service contact place that I can log the potential transmitter problem with.
Does anyone know how to contact whoever it is that looks after it?
thanks

They are still working on the transmitter , though not today , Sunday . There are notices in this weeks Haslemere herald , with a number to call .....0808 100 0288 or look at freeview.co.uk/tvchanges I think that it's part of the clearance programme above 700Mhz . Though I realise holy cross is not transmitting on these frequencies ! My tv is still playing up , and yes I have checked everything . Gary , Apex Aerials . Haslemere

We're still having problems too (Longdene Road). BBC channels are now more or less OK but nothing on HD.

My aerial is in the loft space.
I am still having problems (Longdene Road) receiving some channels on Freeview. However I have narrowed the problem down a bit.
I have run through the troubleshooting from this site and had a phone conversation with both BT and Freeview Support. Both the latter wanted a full retune and BT have even given me another youview box (my third in 3 months!!). None of their suggestions, nor the new box have changed the poor reception on affected channels.
Thanks to this web site, though, I can see that the channels with problems (blocky/no images and chopped or no sound) are the full set of channels on the Haslemere Transmitter Multiplex (MUX) PSB3/BBCB. All other channels are fine. The BT YouView box allows me to see that the Signal Strength is 91% and the Signal Quality is 100%.
I still have no clue why channels on this MUX would change state. All these channels worked OK before (a couple of weeks ago). Any further troubleshooting suggestions gratefully received.
There is a suggestion that aerial or cabling could be a problem though I have changed nothing at my end. I will get these checked even though I don't see how this is the problem.

John Fitzpatrick: Your signal strength is 91% - thats screaming you have too much signal, and thus every so often the tuners in the Humax (because thats what you really have) are overloading, hence the breakup.
The mux strength probably hasn't changed much, but it might just be enough to make it unwatchable.
There may be another problem, but I strongly suggest searching for 'too much of a good thing' on this website, and purchasing a couple of attenuators.

Many thanks for your help, much appreciated.
I read your recommended pages and I now realise that I need to aim for a 75% signal level rather than the current high level. Also that I can deal with this problem via aerial and/or attenuator.
Pity that both Freeview and BT didn't check or advise on this as part of their helpdesk and installation scripts.
regards
John Fitzpatrick

John Fitzpatrick: To be fair, they have to ask the right questions - Humax's are well known to have sensitive tuners, and BT's biggest problem is usually broadband issues, not TV ones.

All our HD channels disappeared a few days ago.
All the non-HD ones are fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
