Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter

I live about 10 miles from the Emley Moor transmitter. Signal strength has always been good, I can see the tower.
External aerial, single Samsung Freeview TV. No complicated set up.
Throughout this summer, I have experienced picture breakup on most Freeview channels over 30. Before about April, everything was fine.
I have returned to no avail. BBC1 and 2, ITV3 and ITV4 are fine.
But 5+1, Dave etc. are unviewable.

MikeB:
That would mean that thousands of other people in West Yorkshire might have the same problem!
Wakefield, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, south Leeds are all near the transmitter.

I was prepared to blame the weather, personally...but it's the same problem rain, shine or cloud.

Signal strength is 86 on BBC1 (good picture)
Signal strength is 66 on Ch5+1, with large BER (breaking up, unwatchable)

Can't find any menus for signal quality.

I suppose the value "86%" is specific to the TV receiver?
A different make of TV might report different absolute values.

Getting breakup on most channels now, even BBC1 (signal strength=78) and BBC2!
The current weather conditions, high pressure, must be causing this.
