I live in bl7 0nj and have direct view of Winter Hill transmitter from my house. The aerial is in the loft and is at least 14 years old. I have Freeview boxes connected to my upstairs and downstairs TVs and they have worked fine for many years. In the past couple of weeks however, reception on BBC channels has deteriorated - most of the time, there is either no signal, or the picture is heavily pixelated (NB BBC reception was OK to start with following the April re-tune). I have tried retuning using factory reset and the BBC channels are picked up and start off with great reception, but after a few minutes the pixelating begins again and the channel soon becomes unwatchable. This said, there are still some occasions when the reception is fine eg I was able to watch the BBC news channel in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago! ITV and other channels such as Dave and Challenge are fine. Any suggestions - I can't understand the sudden change in quality of BBC reception or the fact that sometimes it is OK. Thanks
