Dave H: We need a full postcode to see your predicted signal strength. How long is the coax from the aerial to each TV/box? Are they connected to the aerial via a passive splitter or a powered amplifier?
If this has only been happening in the last few weeks since the new Bilsdale tower went into service then call the Project Restore Helpline on 0800 121 4828 - but don't wait too long as it has been announced that the helpline will be closing on 7th July.

Barry Surman: There is only one version of ITV Meridian HD on Freeview. The work that took place earlier this year to roll out BBC One HD regions on Freeview has paved the way for the full rollout of ITV HD regions, however ITV have yet to announce any timescale for this to happen.

jack: There is still engineering work taking place this week. Weather conditions may also be a factor, allowing the signal from distant transmitters on the same frequency to travel further than normal and interfering with the signal from Sutton Coldfield.

Denise Smarat: PSB1/PSB2/PSB3 on UHF channels 30/31/37 are all broadcast at 20kW power output, double that of COM4/5/6 at 10kW.
If you're actually asking about which transmitter is predicted to provide the strongest signal at your location then we need a full postcode (or one from a nearby shop/pub/garage etc) to be able to check.
