MikeB: hi mike and thanks for replying.
My post code is tr7 3dw
I have had the same aerial since moving into my house 17 years
17 years ago. It is in the loft
When I wrote my reception had deteriorated to the worst it has been. I had 'no signal' messages on channels 48, 51 and 52. Some days later I had ch 48 back, but pixelating to the extent that it was unwatchable. At the weekend I tried retuning a few times. At 6pm on Sunday the result was all channels working perfectly well. However within the hour I had no signal on channels 51 and 52 again and that remains the situation today.
It is the variable reception, with no change inside my house, that convinces me that the problem lies with the signal I am receiving, for whatever reason

Thank you Mike.
I noticed advice that using a booster could cause problems. I bought one when I began having problems receiving channels a year or so ago. Took it off yesterday, and I had a full set of channels last. I bt and this morning. Fingers crossed that that remains the case.
As I mentioned my mother is in Camborne. TR14 7JJ.
Her reception is worse than mine has been, she was watching bbc1 when I visited last Sunday, and it was breaking up badly. Could her signal be too strong? She has no booster fitted, so if that were possibly the case, what could we do to improve it?

MikeB: so I have come to this post as a result of searching for an explanation for the poor reception that I am experiencing. Exactly as described by mr O'Connot. It appears to me that there is a significant problem with the transmitter. The stations come and go, but right now I can view only those in the first two groups. I live in Newquay. My mother lives in Camborne, and complains of exactly the same problem. In response to mike b's question I suggest that the problem is widespread , and the lack of complaints does not indicate that there is no problem.
