tracy reynolds: This usually indicates that water is getting into the aerial cable, so you should probably have the cable replaced.

EVELYN MACDONALD: You don't give any indication which transmitter you receive your signal from,where you are situated, what equipment you have?
Without this no one will be able to offer advice.
