For the past two days we have experienced poor or no signal on our freeview, this is using a separate box and also built in with a different television plus through a built in on a DVD recorder. Is there any reason for this? During the afternoon yesterday we lost signal on and off for about half an hour around 3pm and then last night we lost signal and most of our channels at around 10pm.

I have experienced intermittent loss of signal for some time but usually only for a few minutes at a time but last 2 nights lost most channels for the evening (intermittent but unwatchable) yesterday morning back to normal but this morning still a problem on some channels although HD channels seem unaffected.
