Chris.SE: Thanks for your comments Chris - the signal level gradually improved over the day and is fine this morning. I'm in Beverley, East Yorkshire.

The Freeview Detailed Coverage Checker doesn't work on place names or partial postcodes, but taking a random selection of postcodes around the town centre shows reception of COMs 7&8 could be variable in some places with COM7 slightly worse than COM8. So aerial alignment and gain may be critical depending on your exact location.

Just outside Lincoln (LN4 1QR) and I find some channels are badly broken up (some with signal strength of 10 have a signal quality of only 1 or 2).
What UHF channels SHOULD I be receiving multiplexes on?

Also be aware that there are two things that could disrupt your reception at this time -
1) Belmont is listed for Planned Engineering this week with "Possible weak signal"
2) There's the possibility of Tropospheric Propagation disrupting reception for a couple of days, see -

I am getting intermittent pixelation on my TV. I have retuned my TV several times but still get the same problem. I have a signal booster. Is there any way of testing the signal booster to test if it is still working & working at reduced power.
I live in sheffield & am tuned into Belmont.

John Simon Knight:
We really need a full postcode to look at the predicted reception at your location. Without this it's difficult to offer anything other than general advice.
Where is your aerial, does it seem intact and is it still pointing in the correct direction?
Does your downlead look ok and undamaged? How old is it?
Check all the connections of your coax plugs and connectors for corrosion etc. Check flyleads for bad/broken connections usually at the back of the plug.
What does your TV tuning section give for the signal strength and quality on each multiplex?
If your booster has a gain control, turn it down and see what happens to the signal strength.
Take your booster out of circuit, connect the aerial direct to the TV and check the signal level and quality on each multiplex.

Chris.SE: Also, how old is your TV booster? You ideally need one with a built-in 4G/LTE filter.

I'm not sure why you've addressed your comment to me, although I suspect you meant John Simon Knight but in any event you conclusion/assumption is not likely/necessarily correct. You need to discover what is going on first, there was not information in his post. We don't know how long it's been happening and there could be an installation problem etc. hence my suggestions/questions. The cause of his problem my have absolutely nothing to do with 4G, generally you need a $G mast very close to you to get a problem.
