rodney : Please see Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice . I would suspect the problem could be a mobile phone.

gin: You are most likely using the Woolwich transmitter which has no digital services until next year. If you have no Channel 5 on analogue this is definitely the case.

Huggie: The card provides access to PICK TV, 5USA and 5*. If she does not watch those channel, do not get another card.

dave: You are not in the official reception area for those services until 14th March 2012. I would have a look at Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice but if that won't fix it you will have to wait for next March.

John Persijn: Yes, the information is carried on many pages on this site, see All transmitters with faults and engineering map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

However, your superstition is wrong, Malvern is line-fed by fibre optics and does not take signals from Sutton Coldfield over-the-air.

Bill: They are different systems, rain is a problem for satellite reception because the signals come from a satellite over central Africa and a very weak indeed and at a higher frequency.

Indeed, it is not normally the rain that is falling on you at the time that effects satellite reception, but that at some distance away.

As I said, rain cannot effect Freeview reception directly, the issue is the rain water getting into the cables causing a short.
