Thanks MikeB
Sorry to be so long getting back.
I got a variable attenuator and reduced signal to 75% and still the occasional break up appeared, indeed reducing it more dramatically still breaks up.
BBC 1 and 2 are the worst almost nil on ITV 1 and sometimes Ch4 all HD versions.
Tonight watching the One Show BBC1 HD breaks up on studio live shots but not on inserts.
Break up is mainly on camera changes I would say.
So what is way forward please?

Its only on HD.
I guess as we watch most BBC1 that might seem worse than others. Also can happen on BBC2 HD, ITV1 HD CH4 Hd, BBC News HD. As for BBC4 can't recall but not watched much.
It's something to do with type of program being broadcast as I said One Show studio shots it happened in the inserts it didn't.
Signal strength reduction does not help at any strength. Leeds local ch7 is weakest and is the one that disappears when attenuation large, but still works even a lot of errors on the error scale.
So can it be my aerial or TV set?
Have tried a mobile phone 4G filter in but no help.
No problem on BBC HD on satellite.
I need advise on a way forward please.

A bit more info for MikeB regarding BBC4 HD and us not seeing breakup on that I realised tonight that probably we only watch movies on that and movies do not suffer the breakup.

Came across this although sound does show TV and transmissions can be incompatible.
BBC - Sound issues on Freeview HD services - Help Receiving TV and Radio

I have contacted Samsung and they tell me they are aware of my problem and in conjunction with the broadcaster are working on a solution which will be ready soon.

Earlier this year I posted about picture breakup oh Freeview of HD stations only on my Samsung UE55HU7500 following the advice given which did not improve things I contacted Samsung and my supplier Richer Sounds and got confirmation that changes to the HD transmissions meant Samsung would have to create an update for my TV set which would take some time to prepare and test.
In the mean time RS have been very good and loaned me a HD box to provide me a Freeview HD service.
I am now in receipt of a USB key from Samsung to update the TV which I did this afternoon and we have had no HD picture breakup this evening.

Mine said you had to retune but if it did not come back you had use SD.
Mine did return, looks like BBC messed things up with their messing about for the Olympics.
Wish they would leave things alone.

They seem to think it a good move from 8 t0 7, very strange as they will loose viewers ( if they have any :-) ) who maybe do not retune should they have to.
Have been to Freeview web site to find things out but failed, also in this modern age you would think they would have e-mail contact but seem not to, if they were a subscription organisation they would fail through bad communication, just saying.
