Perfect reception up to 15-4-11 then TV needed re-tuning. Since then reception has been poor with frequent pixalating and sound break up.
Please tell me what has changed and why

chris pugh: My guess is that your box is one of those that tunes in the first version of the signals that it finds, rather than the strongest/best-quality version. It's probably tuned in the weak (because off-beam) signals from The Wrekin on channels 26 and 23 rather than the strong ones from Brierley Hill.
The Wrekin switched over starting on the 6th and completing on the 20th, so now transmits much stronger signals than it did a few weeks ago.
Try deleting all the channels, then manually tuning using the frequencies at the top of the page.
Note that there was work on the Brierley Hill transmitter for a few days before the 15th, so it's possible that just retuning the TV will sort out the problem. It's possible that a new transmitting aerial was fitted, which could have changed the received signal levels. At less than two miles from the transmitter, it's more likely that you have too much signal than too little - remove any amplifiers or boosters you have. If none, or it doesn't help, try fitting an attenuator.

alan: According to the Digital UK postcode checker you only receive a full Freeview service from Sutton Coldfield at your location. It is possible that (like in the reply above from Mike Dimmick to chris pugh) you have stored the channels received from The Wrekin rather than the stronger ones from S/C which are found later in the scan.

I have Sony Bravia with roof top wideband aerial to Brierley Hill transmitter. Up to a month or so I could receive all programmes on Mux D. Now I can only receive programmes 15/18/36/199/711. The kitchen TV with loft aerial receives all Mux D programmes.
I have done a re-tune, a new installation and manually installed C62 all to no avail. Have you any ideas.
My postcode is DY8 2LB.
