The clue is in your post when you talk about 'sometimes full strength'. That means you have too much signal strength and the set is struggling to maintain your viewing. You need to reduce that signal strength until you get relaible reception and display of the programmes. An adjustable attenuator, such as the one shown at http://www.amazon.co.uk/L…YPY, would probably help. Start by connecting it at the aerial input socket at the back of your TV set (or Freeview box if you use one) and gradually reduce the signal until you have all programmes reliably.
Other adjustable UHF attenuators are available.

Rosemary: If your tuned to Crystal Palace, you should do. The engineering works took place very early in the morning, for obvious reasons. Check your aerial.

Hi
I have had to move my chimney aerial to the loft. I now struggle to get BBC 1 or BBC 2 although ITV and Channel 4 and 5 are fine.
Should I change by 18 element long bar aerial to a log periodic with a mast head amplifier?
I am about 16 miles west of the Crystal Palace transmitter.
Thank you.
