Hi, I live in preston and just recently itv channel and channel 4 are now really bad reception in my humax freeview box.. All other channels are fine and I notice that other people are experiencing this issue.. What is the fix? Please advise or do we just have to wait for the signal strengths to be boosted.

Ch59 is showing weak / poor quality
All other Ch are ok.
Using a 2year old Sony but I know that it is not the issue plus this problem only started a s few weeks ago.

J palliser: humax is a pvr9200t. And all other channels work ok. I'm going to plug directly to the TV tonight to see what happen and also try a signal booster/ look for any shorts on the ariel cable.
Ch60 and 61 and only at 20 and 12% strength. Ch59 is up and down like a yo-yo!! Any more advise from anyone??

Update.. Plug the ariel directly into the Sony TV that ha built in freeview and I'm still experiencing the same problem on the Sony .. Even tried a booster and it's still breaking up..

Retune with booster and it has improved slightly but the signal is still up and down.. All other channels are fine so this has to be a signal issue with ch59..
Note that my ariel is in the loft and I have tree (now with leaves) on them to the south of me (the way the ariel is pointing)!!! Could this be part of this problem???

J palliser: if the ariel in the loft plus trees now full with leaves thane surely this would effect all channels and not just itv/ channel 4 etc ch59!! It must be the 4G or a weakened signal.. As everything was fine a few weeks ago.. Guess I'm goin to have to try the ariel outside!
