Is this a recent problem (ie you used to get good reception, but now you don't) or an ongoing problem (ie you've always had bad reception)?
If the former, then it's likely to be caused by recent damage to your aerial or cabling (unlikely to be the TV). From Google StreetView on your postcode, I cannot see any external aerials in your location, which suggests you and neighbours have loft mounted aerials? Check for damage caused by rodents - some years ago I had squirrels gnaw through cables in my loft in the past!
What sort of signal strength/signal quality are you getting on the channel 45 stations, and (when you get them at all) on the channel 42 stations?

Today (24th July)I have 'no signal' in respect of BBC1, BBC2 and the BBC radio stations on my Freeview setup and the same stations yesterday were problematical.
Is there a general problem in the area?
My address is Shaftesbury Close, Bracknell RG12 9PX.

D Ferguson,Bracknell.Is it nice sunny hot with clear blue skies and little or no cloud just recently in your locality ?
The most likely cause appears to be atmospherics or the inversion effect,and as such i would look up Inversion Effect underlined somewhere within my text !

I live in Hedge End, Southampton and receive Freeview via the Hannington transmitter. Reception is OK most of the time but the last 2 or 3 days I have lost signal in the morning. Bad pixellation or complete loss on some channels, BBC and ITV for short periods. I am presuming it may be weather related but is there anything I can do about it.?

Steve Latham. If things are OK most of the time, your signal is probably on the edge & just using a 15 to 20dB signal preamp will probably make enough difference for a small price. Try Maplin etc. for preamp.

D Ferguson.
As Mark Fletcher suggests, the problem you are experiencing could be due atmospherics.
If so then:
A) You'd expect see some difference in quality between daytime and nighttime reception - not necessarily just on Channel 45 (BBCA) but also on adjacent channels (Channel 44 - ArqA - shows Dave, Sky News plus other things that I don't watch!)
B) Your neighbours (within a few hundred yards) will be experiencing similar problems. Try asking them?
C) There is nothing you do about it, except point a Group A aerial in the opposite direction (towards London, rather than towards the end of your Close) and receive from Crystal Palace instead. (Actually I'm surprised you're using Hannington rather Crystal Palace - superficially, at your location, the figures for the latter look better than those for the former.)
If it's not atmospherics, then its probably a TV tuning problem - anything with computer chip in it (such as digital TV) can throw random glitches (such as deleting channel information) for unexplainable reasons. (It's what keeps the IT industry going!) Similar problems can be caused by small children or elderly relatives with a remote control, so try its worth trying a re-tune.

ok thanks
A I'll check
B They all use Sky
C I am near the roundabout, I can see Hannington, I can't see Crystal Palace. Also I want South Today not London news
I'll try a retune, there aren't any children meddling with the remote! But it did affect both tv's suggesting something to do with the aerial or beyond
