John: Unfortunate that you spent money on a 4G filter when you can get 1 per household for free from at800 if you are actually affected by 4G interference. Before you get all paranoid about 4G though, call at800 to check if there's any active masts in your area... (doubt it!)
The channels you mention were the two muxes which moved frequency back in April. If your neighbours are ok (find out) and since all 3 TV are having problems then it's clearly a problem with the aerial, connections or very local interference. Some people on here have benefited from renewed cabling or adjusting the aerial.
What kind of signal strength/quality are you getting for those channels?

Nicholas Willmott: You're forgetting the BBC radio channels, each of which takes up at least 1/10th of a video stream if the BBC Alba/BBC radio operating hours are used as a guide.

Rebecca welch: According to page 29 of your manual Philips Global Consumer Care - Royal Philips Electronics you can check the signal strength, quality and frequency of the channel you are on.
You should do this for TV channels 1, 3, 10, 11, 19 and also 101. Take a note of the information and report back, so we know which transmitter you are tuned in to.

John H Williams: You've asked the same question previously yet you don't seem to have bothered to read and understand the answers given. Dave Lindsay clearly explained the situation back in March: Ten more HD channels on two new Freeview HD multiplexes on air from 2014-18 | Freeview news | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
Dolgellau is a small 4W relay serving 1,800 homes - can you imagine the expense and running costs that would be incurred upgrading the mast to carry 3 more multiplexes? Even if they did decide to upgrade it, you can be sure that hundreds of other relays would be higher up the list.

M. Gillespie: Those channels changed frequency on July 31st and a proper retune is required - try something like "default/factory settings" or "first time installation" on your equipment.

stanley band: The D1 National mux transmits on a different frequency in Scotland from the rest of the UK, so you'll need to retune your DAB radio.

Dave Lindsay: Not so much the teletext services being removed, but a more efficient encoder is now being used for that mux at each transmitter.

Lionel lewis: Where does your aerial go into first - the box or the TV? If the box, then try connecting it to the TV instead and then manual tuning 49, to see if that makes any difference.

Bronislaw: A retune was required on 31st July as a couple of multiplexes moved frequencies - you would be missing Film4 and STV, so you should retune.
