I live in Ampthill,and I too have been having intermittent problems since the beginning of July with Ch 27 being poor quality! All the other channels are fine. The problem only seems to affect the WinTV-Duet receiver on my PC. All my other tvs and pvr are okay, the drop in quality doesn't seem to bother them.

My problems with ch27 have disappeared as well (for the time being). I was wrong about it only affecting the receiver on my PC. The quality was so bad on Wed afternoon that all my tvs were breaking up.
It looks to be the same problem as NigelJ is having, which indicates it can't be local interference as Ampthill is a long way from Wisbech. I suspect engineering work on the transmitter. The problem appears to be mainly restricted to during the day.
Other people may not be experiencing the same problem because they probably have much better reception than me. There's a slight hill between me and Sandy Heath, so I have to use an amplifier to boost my signal. This is probably why a slight drop in signal strength/quality on a particular channel may be causing a problem for me but not for most people.

Ch27 is perfect today.

It would be a big help if "Transmitter engineering" posts were a little more detailed.
