paul denning: Cables that are damaged, etc dont always just show up the strongest signal.
Almost certainly your system has a fault, and its just a process of working out where.

I live in the Bs3 1SL area of southville, Bristol...Not too sure of my transmitter details, but all of a sudden i can no longer accept Freeview HD channels (whereas i've had no previous problems?) I've tried re-tuning both boxes and taken the fitted TV,DAB, and Satellite walled box apart to see if any problems? I receive SD but no HD :( ...any help?

SEEDARIPPER: Would that be Littlecross House? Your likely to be on a communal antenna system if thats the case. You should check if your neighbours have the same problem. If so then it will be a fault in the communal system and will need the building management to deal with it.

Paul Denning:
Can't find any listed faults, however there is some "Tropospheric Ducting" around causing interference, see Effect of tropospheric ducting on Freeview | RTIS for a simplistic explanation. It can be quite variable, come and go within seconds, minutes or hours. It has been particularly strong recently which can as you've discovered wipe out your reception.
Currently it may continue on and off for a day or two more.
