In the last 4 or 5 days the BBC1 and BBC2 channels have either been heavily pixelated or state No Signal. BBC 3 and BBC4 and all other channels are perfect.
The aerial is attached to a chimney, brand new fitted last year and since then all channels had been superb. We were pointed towards Crystal Palace, now Bluebell Hill I think. One TV has a Humax freeview, another is a one year old TV with Freeview inside and both have the same problem. I have just tried your reset procedure and I am now missing digital BBC1 and BBC2 completely so I am now worse off (Channel 59 is probably the problem as the signal on this one is very poor). The non digital BBC channels are dreadful. We did have perfect BBC1 digital reception this morning from 07.35 for 5 mins! That ITV Daybreak program is awful and not something one should have to suffer

Briantist and KMJ: Thank you both. All seems to be better now, Channel 59 signal strength has gone from zero to 92% and Quality is shifting between zero and 60%.
The channels on Single Frequency Intereference are BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC News and 301. The last three were fine all the time so I don't know what the problem was though hopefully whatever is happening at the transmitter is now resolved. Thank you again for your time.
