MikeB: I pulled the cable between the TV and the wall, cleaned off some of the corrosion (it's been a while), turned it round (TV end in wall, wall end in TV for good measure). Things are much better. I suspect the foul weather had highlighted my signal attenuation problem.The next step would have been a re-tune, but things are back to normal after a simple fix.

Dougie Lawson: Just replace the cable (they are really cheap), and if needed, change the box as well. Frankly, rain isn't a problem, unless you already have a problem - the water gets into your system and kills it. So your probably going to have to do something more at some point.
Water in the system acts as an attenuator, so its worth checking your system and signal strength.
Dont ever retune - if your TV was tuned in properly the first time, all that you've done is lost the signal, and if the problem is that your losing signal anyway because of your system, you've just compounded the problem.

I had some problems with the Freeview HD channels seemingly down on power and 'dropping out'. I use BT and quickly retuned the set top box to Crystal Palace (the aerial is virtually pointing 180 degrees in the wrong direction). The power was noticeably up and reception was perfect (I had been worrying that it was my cabling or connections causing a problem). Tuned back to Hannington and problem was still there. A couple of days later the 'problem' cleared. The power was back up. I know a bit about RF and atmospheric conditions but I'm not convinced when they say that there is no reported engineering work. Why would the HD channels seemingly be down on power (strength of signal on the BT set top box) and none of the non-HD channels?? The Crystal Palace transmitter does appear to be, by some margin, more powerful than Hannigton

Rob Cameron: If the problem was caused by a high pressure system, then certain frequencies can get hit more than others, and if the HD channels are on a slightly lower power as well, that can also have an effect.
And check your actual signal strength - could be too high or too low from the original transmitter.
People will often swear blind that its the transmitter at fault, but they tend to say if it is (although sometimes there is a delay if its unexpected), and its seldom very long. 90% of the time, its the setup or another problem inside the home.

During the past two weeks the only two channels that we can receive are BBC 1 and BBC 2 All other channels appear intermittently and then we get a message saying 'no signal'. We had an engineer in from SCCI who was here for five hours and left having achieved nothing. He promised that he would come back with another engineer, guess what he hasn't!. We have spoken to others in our area and this seems to be a problem with a great many others. What has changed in the past couple of weeks?

I echo the points raised by Valerie Brown above. Had exact same issues about amonth ago and again yesterday 28th Dec and today 29th Dec. ITV breaking up at 1855pm. Bl**dy annoying, hubbie has spent days in the loft, obviously NOT a problem here but with the transmitter. funnily enough our portable TV in kitchem (off of another aerial) is fine. could this be picking up a different transmitter?

I live near Alresford in Hampshire and all my HD channels either pixelate or drop off completely. This has happened in the last few months and before that the channels were perfect ....anyone know why?

Mark: For a week now Freeview service has been awfull stations are just coming up NO SIGNAL it started suddenly, there is no known problems with my Panasonic Smart T.V. what is going on, the answers we get are made too complicated for the average person, done on purpose I think. SO18 5SZ

Peter Wharton: Have you checked the signal strength on any of the channels which aren't working? Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables? Start at the back of the TV and work your way towards the aerial as far as you can safely access. If the aerial cable is connected via a socket on the wall, try swapping the cable between the wall and your TV for one which is known to work with another TV as these cables can be easily damaged and many are thin and low quality.
