Tacolneston signals on frequencies on 746000 & 754000 are very poor & erratic . They pixlelate morning ,noon ,& evening with frequent ' No Signal' when 0 signal strength & 2000 bit error is reached. All other frequencies show 100% signal & 0 bit error at the same time except for 762000 which has a 92% signal & 0 bit error.
I have tried new Ariel & Booster & other TV's but to no avail. Could someone please suggest what else I may try. The problem is recent over the last 2/3 weeks. The only general problem is that the level of sound has diminished across all channels . Normally the sound would have been set to 14 in the morning rising to 16 in the evening. At present it is 18 am & 50+ pm. Advice on these problems would be appreciated.

Signal strength on all channels reduced so that sound level has to be increased from 14 to 24 on both TV sets.
Sound in the evening has to be increased to 50+ & at this level is unclear. I have noticed that HD channels
have tor some time had variable signal strengths from 40 to 100 & bit errors from 0 to 2000 & also shown
no signal normally in the evening. I have stopped recording in HD as it has become increasingly likely that all it will show is No Signal. Today it has gone one better in that nearly all HD channels show No signal at mid-day.
Checks show 0 signal strength & 2000 bit error rate. A retune only confirmed that 26 channels were no longer available & I cannot of course get them back unless they start transmitting again. I have tried different ariels & a new booster but to no avail. My other TV is just about hanging on to HD channels with a 46 signal rating , at least at midday. Until 2/3 weeks ago I had no problem with any channel. Are there any plans to return to the signal strengths of a short time ago ? John
