Which channels are you having problems with? How long has it been happening?
Is it always the same channels?
If you provide a full postcode we can check your predicted reception and may be able to offer further advice.

Steve:
As currently noted at the top of the page -
"Pontop Pike transmitter: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 26/05/2025 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels"
As you haven't given a full postcode, we can't check your predicted reception under normal circumstances, you may be in a marginal area for some multiplexes.
There's also the possibility that you may be suffering interference from a new/upgraded phone mast now using the 700MHz band but again we can't check without a full postcode.
Added to which current weather conditions could be causing brief disruption -

One thing, do NOT retune when you have No signal or badly pixelated pictures, you cannot tune to signals that aren't there or can't be decoded, the usual result is to clear the correct tuning.
