Sorry. I should have said that I have a relatively new aerial - roof mounted - and my post code is IV2 4LB.

My post code is IV2 4LB and my aerial is roof mounted.
Yet again I find this morning between 11am and noon that while rosemarkie claims to have no problems I have no signal or bad signal on my COM6 ArqB channels. This happens every now and again and is very annoying.
Since I regularly take steps to ensure that none of the other potential causes (need to reset/mobile phones/etc.) are ruled out the only possible cause is inversion due to high pressure weather conditions.
However, it is my understanding from reading the notes that the potential disturbance caused by nearby analogue transmitters should only affect the weak digital signals used for freeview prior to digital switchover. Since digital switchover has happened does this explanation no longer hold water?
I can practically see the Rosemarkie transmitter from my home in Inverness so why is this still happening?

I have had perfect reception on all Freeview channels for some time on all 4 freeview boxes (built in to 2 Panasonic Plasma TVs and 2 Panasonic video recorders).
Suddenly today I started to get poor reception on Channel 15 (film 4). I switched to other programs to check them and found that all of the Multiplex channel 50 programs were affected. The reception got so bad that I lost these channels altogether for some time and was getting "invalid DVB channel" when trying to get them.
I tried retuning several times on one of my TVs but it made no difference. Eventually I began to receive a picture on these channels again on all 4 of my boxes even though I had just been trying to reune one of them.
All other programs have remained perfect throughout though when checking signal quality and strength I find that all multiplex channel 50 programs are less than perfect.
When I check with Rosemarkie I find that there have been no issues there today and that the channel 50 multiplex signal from there is "above average". I'm finding that difficult to believe. Can you explain what was going on today?
