Hi - live in SE4 1AQ and I'm having problems mainly with BBC4 which is permanently scrambled lately. Have an aerial in the loft, picking up i guess from the Crystal Palace transmitter. What could the problem be?

Marc: It could just be the problem of having a loft aerial, but I would see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice as you are predicted to have excellent reception of all services.

I'm hoping there's a typo on this page:
"""
Wednesday 4th April 2012
ITV-1 swaps to C33. BBC TWO C23 closes. BBCA starts on C23.
"""
BBC TWO has been on C33 for ages, it's never been on C23. (TQ297960)

Andrew Benham: That's what "swaps" means. The allocations of C33 and C23 are switched over, then BBC TWO closes on analogue.

Hi thought I'd post an update after all main freeview channels went down a couple of weeks back. (postcode SL2 2NN)
Friday 6 May BBC 1 and 2 came back up... others decent ones still dead
By 8 May ITV Ch 4 and 5 just about working but breaking up a bit.
My brother at his address (1 mile north) reporting he had see the exact same change with the same timings.
But in bringing these back up, they killed all HD channels which had been faultless for 2 months now breaking up really badly all the time.
Retuned the panasonic middle of last week after having the nag onscreen for about a week and get a great range of 10 out of 10 to 1 out of 10 on different muxes....
Brilliantly with BBC 1 and 2 ITV ch 4 ch5 being some of the weakest BUT its ok coz the porn and gambling rubbish no one watches come out at 10 out of 10 for signal strength and have NEVER gone off air in more than 5 years even with the silly playing the do all day long at crystal palace but pretend they don't!.
It just
