Since last friday my Freeview Mux 1 signal strength has dropped from 100% to around 40-70% causing pixelation. All other channels absolutely fine. It has been perfectly OK since the engineering work was concluded months ago.
I have been through all the checks, re-tunes etc. but no change.
I live in York with my aerial pointed at Emley Moor.
Any idea why?

Hi Brian
I have looked at the page referred and cannot see any reason for local analogue interference. I have played with the RF output and got no difference. I have changed *nothing* in my set-up. It had been fine for months since the engineering works, then it suddenly deteriorated last week. It varies throughout the day. At present (17.00) it is at 80% & is watchable. It seems to be worse in the evenings.

Hi Brian
Thanks for your help so far.
I have also spotted that Mux c is suddenly unwatchable (but not a problem as I don't watch any of those channels!), so it's not just Mux 1.
What you seem to be overlooking with both Shaun & I is that until last week, everything was fine & now it isn't. So saying that a loft-based aerial is no good for freeview doesn't help when it *was* OK (mine is on the roof by the way).
I have looked at the last link regarding induction interference and again can see no reason why this would be the case.
Do we know for certain that the signal strength hasn't been altered?

Thanks for all your suggestions.
Having had a search around, I also note that Mux D is also on reduced signal. So that's at least Muxes 1, A & D affected in the last 8 days or so. It seems to vary throughout the day. I hope I can watch Dr Who tonight!
