I live in Derby, and I believe my antenna is pointed towards Waltham. The past few weeks we've been getting terrible interference on the BBC channels (BBC1-4, Ceebies, BBC News, etc.). We were using the 800 numbers since they were giving better reception, but now they either no longer come in at all, or have very bad reception. The 'regular' BBC channels have improved slightly, but still freeze up and lose signal constantly. It's also much more pronounced in the evening.
The antenna is mounted on the chimney, and was bought (and professionally installed) only a few years ago when we went from analog to Freeview (now using a Humax PVR).
I don't understand most of the technical lingo on this site, so all this talk about 'C57' and 'Mux', etc. is over my head. Can someone just tell me what's going on with the BBC channels, and will it improve? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for any help that can be provided.
