CB10 2TL- Saffron Walden, Essex. Same as above- 6.30am today no channels from PSB1 and PSB2. PSB2 returned about 6.50 and PSB1 intermittent. Looks like a transmitter issue?

We are also seeing issues with Talking Pictures (Channel 81) on Humax digiboxes (one a Youview DTR T2100) box and the other a new Freeview Play FVP-400T box)
The odd thing is that one is mine and the other my mother's at different locations- CB10 2TL and CM22 7JJ. Mine is on Sandy Heath and hers on Crystal Palace. We each have a Samsung Smart TV with DVB-T2 tuners daisy chained off the digiboxes, and both TVs CAN receive Talking Pictures. However neither Humax box can, and manual tuning does not find the channel. The Humax boxes do receive all other COM7 channels.
Does this suggest an issue with the inbuilt tuners in the Humax boxes?

We are in CB10 2TL getting a signal from Sandy Heath. Recently we are seeing issues with as lot of channels intermittently. The aerial was replaced a few years ago and due to our position the cable runs into an Antiference amplifier then on to 3 feeds. Each of the feeds is showing the same losses. Signal strength can be as low as 34% on BBC1 SD with a high number of bitrate errors. HD channels also sometimes weak, but not always. I've remade the cable terminations, but no better. Is this likely to be an aerial or amplifier problem? Thank you!

Over the past 3 weeks or so we have been seeing loss of signal on the BBC SD channels- mainly BBC 1 and 2 from Sandy at CB10 2TL. Nothing ahs changed in our box or aeriel setup. HD signal is good.
Have tried full reset and retune and the problem improves then deteriorates again. Looking at signal strength, we see 85% on most channels but only 43% on the affected ones. Today, the picture is much better and the SS is back to 85% on the BBC channels- was there a temporary power reduction recently?
