Geoff Gaunt: Actually check the signal path. Occam's razor says the the simplest explaination is probably the most likely. It might be the tiles, but its much more likely that you have a leak....

Geoff Gaunt: Mike - definitely no leak/damp in the loft space. No way any moisture can get into the aerial/connectors/cabling which all run internally.
It's the fact that the degraded signal lasted for a couple of days after the heavy rain event before coming good again which may indicate the (old) tiles are absorbing moisture.
PSB1 signal strength is now showing 54% (sunshine on the roof :-), it was 53% yesterday and 48% when signal was lost)
I guess the ultimate solution is to get the aerial outside if it becomes a regular occurrence.

Geoff Gaunt: What was your signal strength when you put the aerial in? The wet tiles might well be having a dampening effect, but the signal strength loss seems to be only about 6% - so perhaps your on the margin anyway, and the wet tiles are pushing the system under the treshold for a decent signal.
Put your postcode into the site - if you should get a fantastic signal according to the predictors, and your not (OK, so loft aerials are as much magic as science), then its not the wet tiles, but something else.
Yes, a roof mounted aerial would be better, but it might be your setup is fine, but its a little under the weather at the moment.

Reception on channel 60 at this location is very poor. All other multiplexes are 100%. My aerial is wideband and on the roof. I have tuned the TV properly. When will this frequency be moved from the 700 series to make way for mobile?

To answer you we need the requested full post code. There are several transmitter around the Bristol area and you may be receiving from one of the others rather than Kings Weston Hill.
