Freeview was ok last year most of year
Have TV with built in freeview box
Then when atmospherics in the winter kicked in warm temperatures etc noticed pixellating LOS etc
Receive from Crystal Palace, do not know if it will improve after switch-over may look at Antenna and cabling on the roof but currently service is better on analogue.
Currently Analogue channels ok

John: Anyone experiencing problems with their Freeview reception can get advice by just by entering their post code in the box at the top right hand side of every page and posting a question (rather than a statement) and someone will check the reception predictions for the location as well as any other factors that might apply, advising accordingly.

P Benatmane: Basically to get an idea of whats happening carry out a signal strength / quality check on the Humax PVR whilst everything is working normally, making a note of the indications seen, then assuming that you mean that the picture is freezing(?) carry out the same check noting what changes have taken place.
It would also have been of assistance to anyone offering advice if you had mentioned your location, (pref: post code) that is as well as the model of Freeview box and also the Humax PVR you are referring to.

I have a JVC TV with a built in hard drive. It also freezes every Wednesday. It is fine when first switched on, but after a couple of minutes I am unable to change channels, access the programme guide, or my library of recordings. It started happenind mid-December. I am guessing there must be something in the programme guide for Wednesdays which causes the software to crash.
Postcode SE25 - Crystal Palace transmitter.

AJW: There have been a number of reports of boxes/TVs apparently freezing on particular days. I'm not an expert here, but I have noticed that these seem to be those that are on the list for firmware updates that are being broadcast at the time the device hangs.
See this page:
DTG :: DTT Receiver Downloads
Could you check to see if you have latest firmware version (i.e. the version that is being broadcast, as shown on the page I gave you a link to)? If it isn't the latest, then maybe it is updating firmware. As I say, I'm not exactly sure what these things do when updating, but clearly they will be innoperable.
A key question is do you switch it off at the wall when not in use? If so, then I guess that the first thing it does is update (at times that the update is broadcast). For this reason, leave it on at the wall overnight (or at least so it is turned on whilst the update is broadcast and for which you don't need to use the machine).

We have been getting digital signals from Emley Moor here at Dronfield since switch over. Sometime in the last few weeks we have lost C48, C51 and C52. The info says signal 85%, quality 0%. I've gone back to installation -> manual tuning (which I had to use at changeover) but that looks in order (right frequency) and there the info is strength 85% quality 100%.
What has changed? I'm reluctant to do factory rest plus full manual retune, as it was a bit of a performance at changeover, until I can be sure this will cure the problem.

Tim Searle: The "FEC" (forward error correction) of the commercial multiplexes from Emley Moor was changed on 31st January. I haven't had any issues using the said transmitter.
I'm not an expert on these things, but I can only wonder if your tuner has stored the FEC mode being used and is therefore expecting it as it was prior to the change.
The technical explanation is that the capacity has been increased the equivalent of two shopping channels.
Some receivers are easier to tune that others. There are quite a few transmitters that you could pick up when auto-tuning:
Postcode Checker - Trade View
Running the automatic tuning with the aerial unplugged might wipe it. I did this with one box and it didn't wipe anything!
If this is the case, the work-around might be to get it to tune in one of the multiplexes (using the automatic tuning sequence) by having the aerial unplugged for most of the scan except the target multiplex.
Looking at the list of transmitters on Digital UK Trade View predictor, try to pick up Ch51 (or Ch52). Then manually add the rest.
Some receivers will give the UHF channel numbers as they scan them. If it's a percentage only scale, then calculate it on the basis that it starts at channel 21 and goes up to channel 68.
