If you read the post immediately before yours, then fitting a signal amplifier may be of no help whatsoever, in fact depending on your predicted reception (a full postcode is needed to look at that) you may end up up with too much signal which could give you a host of other problems.
IF this was due to the unusual weather conditions then all you need to do is retune again.
You could try a manual tune for UHF C47 (there has been no reduction in power).
If manual tuning isn't possible , try the following -
Unplug the aerial and do a full automatic retune, this should clear all previous tuning as nothing will be found.
This doesn't work on some devices and you'll have to do a reset, see you manual. You may need to reschedule any recordings.
Plug the aerial back in a repeat the automatic retune.

Meridian isn't "in" Canterbury. The Meridian region covers the S and SE, BUT because there is a limited number of ITV HD regions (distributed separately from the SD versions), Meridian is also fed to Anglia.
ITV HD Anglia East region is only currently available to Satellite viewers. There is no Anglia West HD region at all.
ITV HD London is only available in London cable network areas.

Ch.50 is Sony Movies Classic. Sony chose to put a lot of their channels on Local Multiplexes.
For which channels are on which multiplexes, see Channel listings for Industry Professionals | Freeview
Without a full postcode we cannot say whether your transmitter has a Local multiplex and whether you are predicted to receive it. If you don't have a Local station at LCN7 or 8 in your EPG then most likely no.
Local multiplexes are only on a few main transmitters and signals beamed towards large urban centres of population.

Thanks for that, I hadn't had time to go searching to see if there was info on any iPlayer issues.
Peter Pledger: if this isn't the issue affecting you, post back with some more detail.

Well, as you know you shouldn't have any problems with all the main muxes from Mendip. When was he last time you tried a retune, can you do a manual one for C32?
Looking in the tuning section, what are the signal strengths and quality showing for other multiplexes?
This might indicate an issue with the received signals being fed to the box.
Has the box recently had a firmware update? There might be some sort of issue there, but that would surprise me if you are getting the other muxes ok.

Sony have renamed "Classic" as "Christmas" for the forthcoming festive season, it is otherwise the same channel! See Updates and alerts | Freeview
A Local multiplex is broadcast from Sutton Coldfield but whether you can receive it will depend on location, if you don't have a Local station on LCN7 then you probably can't get it. It is not beamed in the CV31 general direction and reception in that general area may not be that good. A partial postcode doesn't give that information, a full postcode is required.

Could you be clearer as to exactly which TV REGION you want to receive? I'm guessing from what you are saying you don't want Yorkshire.
Then we'll need a full postcode to see what TV Transmitter(s) and Multiplexes you might receive for that region.

There is very little "Tropospheric Ducting" around causing interference at this time, see Effect of tropospheric ducting on Freeview | RTIS for a simplistic explanation.
A lot could depend on when you last retuned.
You are not advised to retune when you have lost signals or they are badly pixellated as this usually just clears correct tuning and you have to repeat a retune when signals are stable.
Equally, your transmitter might be listed for Planned Engineering and as we haven't a clue about your location or which transmitter(s) you might receive - a full postcode is needed - then it's impossible to make any further constructive comment.

No problem. I hope Shona wardrop: has also seen my reply.
