MikeB:
That would mean that thousands of other people in West Yorkshire might have the same problem!
Wakefield, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, south Leeds are all near the transmitter.
I was prepared to blame the weather, personally...but it's the same problem rain, shine or cloud.

Signal strength is 86 on BBC1 (good picture)
Signal strength is 66 on Ch5+1, with large BER (breaking up, unwatchable)
Can't find any menus for signal quality.

mikem004: Possibly thousands of other people are...judging by the number of people who complain of signal breakup in similar circumstances. See here: Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | Switchovers | ukfree.tv - 12 years of independent, free digital TV advice However, your readings are really odd - 86% is a little high (75% is perfect) but seemingly fine. 66% but breaking up? Thats odd - the lower threshold shouldn't be that high. Might be a question for JB38 or Dave Lindsay...

I suppose the value "86%" is specific to the TV receiver?
A different make of TV might report different absolute values.

mikem004: It might - certainly some TV's are more sensitive than others.
However, as I said, your situation is odd. If you were 5-10km from a transmitter, and had breakup with 100% signal strength, then that would be easy. If its far too low (30%?), then that also makes sense - a duff aerial connection, etc.
But to have breakup on Com4 when the signal strength is actually perfectly OK is just weird.

Getting breakup on most channels now, even BBC1 (signal strength=78) and BBC2!
The current weather conditions, high pressure, must be causing this.
