Is this just due to the weather lately or not? I thought when we switched to digital signal it was supposed to cure all these problems that we had when it was analogue?

Ive posted on here before about losing channels, and got a reply that when the switchover was made it would solve it.
Well the last few weeks, I keep losing reception, picture breaking up, cant get some channels at all, programs not recording etc, etc
I thought when we went digital it was supposed to solve all of the above?
Any ideas on how I can stop it happening? Or am I just going to have to put up with it due to the atmosphere when it gets hot and or muggy?

Sorry, youve lost me there, the aerial is facing the faversham transmitter.
Ive just checked now and Im getting all the channels that its tuned into perfectly. But by about 10ish, theyll start breaking up, when its humid and muggy I seem to lose most channels. It only happens in the summer, the rest of the year its fine.
Its a dual tuner digitalstream HD box. And so can record one channel and watch another, or record 2 different channels.
But I can have it set to record a program and be watching another, and notice that it hasnt started recording, but sometimes if I go onto the channel its supposed to be recording, it will start recording it straight away, other times I have to record it manually.
Surely if its picking up the channels perfectly for the rest of the year, then it should do during the summer???

Ive just done a full rescan, and when it comes to saving, I get 3 options
London 19 services
East Anglia 8 services
South east 6 services
I think Ive had it on south east in the past? Should I select London instead?

Well I retuned it how you said. And Im having problems now. Im watching ITV2 + 1 and the signal keeps going
It says its tuned to channel 45
Think this is the first day the weather has been hot or humid since I posted

Well its the same problem again tonight. Seems all stations on 39 and 45 are affected. Keep losing reception all the time.
So are we going to have to get someone out to reposition the aerial?
Reception is perfect through the winter, its only when it gets to summer and the muggy hot evenings that there is a problem (from about 15:00 to 01:00. And its always the same stations that go, Im guessing these are on the same channel? If its ok during the day during the summer, surely it should be ok in the evenings?

Faversham
Loss of signal in ME13 area
For the last couple of days Ive lost nearly all the channels, somethimes they are there when I get in from work, but are gone again by 8ish in the evenings. Cant get any ITV channels, 4, 5, more 4, E4, (but i can get e4 + 1), 5*, 5usa, quest, challenge.
Is this due to atmospherics? Thought the digital signal was supposed to stop this happening??
