Setup my aerial pointing at Bristol Kings Weston transmitter today. Could only get 21 channels and these broke up. ITV intermittent until I noticed the POLARISATION. Changed from horizonal to vertical, re-tuned and got 103 channels all good signals. So ensure Directors are vertical (fins are up and down).

robert stockwell: You are using the Mendip transmitter, and you will be getting a very strong signal from it.
If you have already checked the Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page, then you might have too strong a signal.
If you have, remove any boosters or amplifiers from your system, if the problem persists, you may need to fit an attenuator, they cost about a fiver.
