Dave Lindsay: many thanks for the considerable effort you obviously put in to compiling the response to my posted query. That is very much appreciated.
Ironically, we started to get good pictures and sound from about an hour after posting the problem. And that appears to have continued up to the time of writing (1955 hrs 28.02.14)
The one thing that totally baffles me as a complete layman in these matters is how, without any apparent change in our domestic arrangements or in the surrounding environment (buildings, hills and other interventions cannot appear in minutes), the signal can be present, or not present, or vice versa.
At the moment, all is good so, many thanks for your virtual influence!

Post code LU7 4AW. Your system does not recognise it but, believe me, the Royal Mail does!
When we moved in to this new house three and a bit years ago, with new tv installation, 4 new tv sets, everything worked superbly - we had all the stations that we wanted, and more, good picture and sound.
Then, somewhere around the beginning of the year, the signal disappeared for longer than it is present. This week, we have been able to watch on Sunday evening and this morning for approx. 27 minutes between 0820 and 0850. Otherwise, we have a white on blue announcement that says 'Stream not available' and a red sign that says 'Off 10', which then counts down to 0.
I have done all of the checks suggested but am still being deprived of, what I consider should be, normal tv service. It is almost enough to drive me to buy into Sky, which really would be desperation!
To add insult to injury, my ISP is now threatening to start charging me for excessive broadband usage because the only way we can watch television is on my computer.
Help!!
