I live in Glasgow's west end near the city centre and noticed some deterioration in signal to all channels some time last week. A lot of channels had periodically jerky or frozen images while the sound continued fine.
I tried the freeview reset procedure and now have viewer channels through my freeview box (still bad pictures) and the freeview tuner in my TV no longer picks up any channels.
Should I get someone out to look at the roof aerial or is there some explanation related to the transmission system?
I know work has been going on over the last week, but there doesn't seem to be any faults reported here.
Appreciate any advice

em: Start by checking the cables and connections behind your TV and work back as far as you can safely access towards the aerial. Then check with your neighbours to see if any are experiencing the same problem with their Freeview.
