We are pointing a Waltham always have done and it was ok until recently but as you say the SDN is now causing problem. Couple of hours from now it will be OK on quest. I'm wondering if its some sort of interference from someone broadcasting that shuts down midnight/early morning and then starts up again later in the day.
One thing though when I do a full signal scan from scratch it gives me a choice of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire or East Midlands. When I move the rectangle to East Midlands I get BBC Look North and when I select Yorkshire and Lincolnshire I get East Midlands Today.
Doesn't matter which I select I still get the SDN channels pixelating etc. Every other channel is OK.

Its not EPG problems even with the pixelation the EPG works fine, I see all the progs although with some channels it takes a bit of time to populate the EPG.
Where is Rowridge? Never heard of it.

Now all the channels on SDN are pixelating and sound quality severely reduced. This has been a gradual process over the last few weeks. My aerial is still pointing to Waltham has it has done since it was installed. I have one of these Argos Bush receivers I bought last year when the Asda one I had stopped working during the switch-over. ITV3 was great last week today its rubbish. 5*, 5 USA,5+1 and quest are the same and this amount of disruption is less than a week old. Previously is was very intermittent pixelation. So what's causing this? Could it be 4G interference?

I don't know as this Bush box does not allow manual tuning. and I have a choice of Yorks and Lincs or East Midlands when tuning

Had a closer look and after 4 re-tunings and choosing East Midlands it always has East Yorks as the transmitter. Looking at my aerial orientation I am in line with Waltham. To get East Yorks I would have to turn the aerial to North East instead of the roughly easterly direction it has.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting progressively worse reception for the following channels until late at night:
5+1, ITV2+1, Quest, 5*, 5USA etc.
They are pixelated and sound is broken but during the night it improves. All other channels are no problem.
Any answers or solution welcome.
