Bluebell Hill (Medway, England) Full Freeview transmitter

At last, I've found your excellent website! For countless months now,my wife and I have been arguing about the cause of poor and nil reception on our Toshiba digital TV set which receives signals from the Bluebell Hill transmitter. She has maintained that the fault lies with our receiver - it's 6-years old - and I have put the problems down to transmitter faults/engineering interventions. We upgraded the aerial when we bought and installed our receiver and had a signal booster installed at the same time. Just recently, the reception problems have become more frequent and prolonged, especially on BBC channels.(but Yesterday and Film 4 channels also often disappear, too) If I'm right to blame engineering works, could you kindly explain why it should be necessary to undertake these so frequently as we approach switchover to full digital? And could you please explain why I should need to re-tune my receiver so frequently, too?
