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?

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)
