I have strange problem with COM7 107 BBC News HD, 108 Al Jazeera Eng HD, 109 Channel 4+1 HD, 110 4seven HD, 113 RT HD. I have newish 55" Samsung TV. I had to have my aerial put in the loft. Problem I have which started occuring around Wimbeldon time and still persists - not sure if they added new channels, I don't remember having RT HD or Jazeera HD, and even some childrens new HD channels. Is this causing issues by cramming so much on the transmitter? Or is it because I have loft aerial - which doesn't explain why they work perfectly in the evening.

In the day these channels DO NOT work = no signal. In the evening they DO work. I'm in Warrington using what I assume is Winterhill based on my aerial direction. Channels with issues: 107 BBC News HD, 108 Al Jazeera Eng HD, 109 Channel 4+1 HD, 110 4seven HD, 113 RT HD,.

Any ideas why I have this symptom?

Thanks for the info Chris that link was great website. I already new my coverage was good in Warrington. However looking at that link today 1/8/18 they have a retune event occurring for Winter Hill. I've wiped re-tuned many times over past month. I have made no retunes today - but those channels had same problem yesterday and started working later in the evening. However today "retune day" without me retuning - all is working @18:30 1/8/18 without issue. Maybe they've made adjustments? Or maybe it's just erratic symptom on my end. Either way if I think on I'll report back if it continues to consistently work without issue.
