Maybe your signal is too strong! Please check the signal strengths on all multiplexes. Ideally you want between 60% and 85%,. Any stronger is likely to cause the problems your report. BTW, the way digitally encoded signals behave is quite different to that seen with analogue.

Such limiting circuits have never been developed for use in a TV tuner input. Some TV tuner are more sensitive than others and it is simple to fit an attenuator for those with either more sensitive tuners or are closer to the signal source. I have worked in the TV industry for 50 years before retiring and it has always been the case that some need attenuators whilst others do not.
HD signals on COM7 and 8 are generally transmitted at a lower power output that the other multiplexes. Thos on COM4 (the BBC HD services) are generally at the same power output as the SD services. COMs 7&8 are temporary services and are expected to be subsumed into the main multiplexes when the majority of TVs have an DVB-T2 (HD) reception capability.

Looking at the Digital UK Coverage Checker for your location, at Coverage Checker - Detailed View shows that Suton Coldfield is indeed a possibility. You would need a wideband or log-periodic aerial if you have not already had one fitted. The page mentioned tells you the direction towards the transmitters and the channels in use.

It is due to the high pressure across the country currently. It is affecting large areas of the UK. Do not retune and just be patient until the weather p[attern changes. There is no known cure for this natural phenomenon.

THe current hogh pressure across much of the UK is the cause of your p[roblems. It is a well known and perfectly natural phenomenon and all yopu can do is pwait patiently until the weather pattern changes. Do not retune.

Transmitting a stronger signal would make matter worse for most people! Just be patient until the effects of the current high pressure moves away from the UK.

The current high pressure over the UK is causing the signal problems you and others report. Be patient until the weather changes and all will return to normal.

The current weather patterns are causing reception problems across the UK, it's worse in some areas than others. So [lease be patient for the weather to change. Do not retune.
