Denis:
Thanks for the update, albeit a few years :)
The transmitter aerial will be the same antenna, so this will more likely have something to do with your reception rather than transmission - unless they are doing engineering work at present, I'm afraid I don't know of any reliable source for possible engineering information on Saorview masts.
You say that the aerial is on your balcony. so its reception could easily be frequency dependant depending on the surrounding building and balcony structure.
Have you thought about trying to reposition it slightly, or angle it upwards slightly. See if any of that makes any difference.

Thank you so much for that Steve, I didn't have time to go hunting around previously.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question about the BT TV Box, but one thing you could do is check your cables, flyleads, interconnecting aerial leads etc and make sure they haven't gone faulty - breaks etc.
Should you need a filter, then it would be a "5G" one - ie. a 700Mhz one (it also deals with 4G).
If you have a NI postcode you can get a free filter from Restore TV, check here -

Rick:
On the Kilvey Hill Freeview transmitter page, a duplication of the Freeview engineering information is posted -
Kilvey Hill transmitter: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 03/11/2025 Pixelation or flickering on some channels.
There could have been similar on some previous weeks but I can't check at the moment.
As you haven't given a full postcode, we can't comment on your normal predicted reception which may already be vulnerable to reception problems or some interference.
