Dover (Kent, England) Full Freeview transmitter

Hi,
I live in River and I am 3 miles away from the Dover Transmitter, I have just brought a new Freeview set and tuned it in, it has found over 100 channels, but BBC1 & BBC 2 come and go & freeze etc most other programmes are great
The signal strength shoes in excess of 50% to 57% on the screen meter.
I have asked my neighbours who have the same aerials and they say they are receiving freeeview ok.
Can you suggest anything.
PS the house is 7 years old and it has a loft aerial which is aligned to 216 degrees for the Dover transmitter.

AlexG,

Would this be the reason why I am experiencing the concerns with my BBC1 & 2 reception on Freeview?

Thanks for all of the pointers, I have tried them but still have no BBC1 or BBC 2, so I have replaced the 24 element aerial in the loft with a new 48 element digital high gain aerial and retuned the TV's, fingers crossed that seems to have done the trick!
I hope it proves to be a permanent fix to the problem.

I cant believe it, I'm back home from a short break away and somedays the reception is great on BBC1 & 2 and other days I cant receive it at all, so I give up.

I think I'll just wait until July 2012 and se what happens when we get the digital signal upgrade.
