Alan Armour: There are only 21km from Midhurst, with a good signal path, so reception should be great.
BT Youview boxes are Humax's, which generally have sensitive tuners. Midhurst had engineering work in August, which tends to result in high signal strength, so I'm wondering if its my favourite solution, too much signal?
Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | Digital switchover | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
Have a look at the signal strength - if its 100% its too much, and isolate any boosters, etc. Tell us if it helps.

Lost all signal last night. Constant scanning today still results in 0 channels. I followed the reset guide on here but no luck. I'm in Horsham which according to the freeview maps has strong reception at present. Any ideas?

For the past week or so I have lost channel 50 stations. The signal has dropped to 28% and quality to 10%. I have not installed any new equipment that might be interfering, and other channels are unafected. Has anything happened at Midhurst that might account for it ? My post code is RH12 3PD.

Steve Lancaster: If you're using a powered booster/splitter then perhaps it has kicked its cloggs.
The Commercial (COM) channels (ITV3, Pick, 4Music etc) are on lower power from Midhurst and use a signal mode which means they're less robust and are therefore more likely to have lower quality, so perhaps it is those which you've lost.
If you are using a powered booster, bring up the signal strength screen and observe it. Then go to the booster and turn its power off. Then see what difference it's made to the signal strength.

Dave Lindsay:
Hi Dave, C50 is certainly one of the weaker ones from Midhurst, but C59 is nominally the same power and I get it at 50% signal, plenty enough for viewing.
I am using an analog booster, absolutely necessary where I am ! I don't think it has a problem though as no other channels are affected. If I turn it off virtually nothing is watchable.
If nothing has changed at Midhurst I am wondering if a telephone mast or the current weather conditions might be depressing C50. According to the reception map there are two masts within 1.5Km of me, but I have no idea if they are transmitting 4G yet.

My post code is GU32 3PS, 2 miles west of Petersfield.
Late every night, starting at about 1030, 1130 or 0030, all channels break up and become unwatchable. No known sources of interference - nothing switches on within the house during those times.
I have a signal amplifier in the feed and a high-gain antenna in the roof.
What might be the problem?

The channel is on satellite, but only to Sky subscribers with cards registered in London.
