.: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? The current hot weather conditions are causing TV and radio signals to travel much further than they normally would, resulting in interference from distant transmitters causing reception problems in various parts of the country which may be a factor. Do not attempt to retune.

No, nothing wrong with cable connections. I could get radio stations, shopping and music channels. But the normal channels just werent there
So how can I solve it? When we went digital they kept saying atmospheric disruption, channel break up and losing channels would be a thing of the past. But it seems to be getting worse every year!

.: Who said atmospheic pressure etc would be a thing of the past? Digital TV uses the same frequency bands previously used by analogue TV and there is nothing that make digital signal behave any differently to analogue when broadcast through the air.

Atmospheric conditions have affected high frequency signal transmissions for a great many years and that has not changed at all. It's not got worse or better but is subjsct the precise conditions found in the layers of the atmosphere most responsible for the propogation of RF signals. It is a perfectly natural phenomenon so noby has any control over it.
There have not been any substantiated claims that digital brodcasting will be any different from analogue. As StevensOnln1 says "there is nothing that make digital signal behave any differently to analogue when broadcast through the air."
So it is not because the transmissions are digitally encoded, analogue transmissions are equally affected.
