Winter Hill (Bolton, England) transmitter

I am in the winterhill area and have lost half the channels they were unwatched blocky and stut-t-t-t-t-tery now after a re tune they are gone.
Last scan only found 22 channels as the rest are too week for my current config files to pay notice to.
Now scanning again and its picked up 20.
Some channels are listing as DTV2.1, DTV2.2 up to DTV2.7
What is the crack Who broke it come on own up I dam well know its not the aerial in the loft or the hardware tuning it. This all happened when the re-runs of the 80s games shows were foisted upon us. COME on who wants to watch the krypton factor?

Go figure they are back now really odd. Wonder if my amp is failing? Weather does not seem bad.
Odd how it has affected different muxes though? BBC been fine all weekend till tonight. Fives been screwy all month loads of shows have not recorded right.

Need a booster as there are 3 Tvs in different rooms. Unfortunately this place is rented so no changes possible. Still think its odd how one then two then all muxes were gradually affected. probably a voltage regulation problem on the power injector.
Ah well just some thing else to turn off and on again.
