hel: Sounds like there is some electrical interference, perhaps a timed appliance somewhere. Do you have storage radiators that run at night (on Economy 7)? See here:
Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
I would get a battery powered AM radio as it may be audible on there and move around to see if I can find what direction it is coming from.
It might be worth switching between the different wavebands on the radio (one with Short Wave, Medium Wave, Long Wave and FM gives you the most choice) to see which it is clearest on.
As it happens at a particular time, you might have the radio on tune to a frequency that you know that the noise appears on. If the noise starts at the same moment as your TV signal goes, then you know you are listening to the cause.
Once you have the noise on your radio, if you can, switch off all electrical appliances in your house at the time of the interference. Preferably this would be by switching off the main incoming supply at the distribution board/fuse box. That way there can be no little things you have forgotten about.
Go outside with the radio. See what direction it gets stronger in and where it is weaker so as to try and work out where it's coming from.

mr eric townsley: If its the Nottingham transmitter you receive your signal from and not Waltham, then you will require to use manual tuning of the channels required as the same thing may happen again, so scrub channels already stored either by carrying out a re-scan without the aerial being connected or more reliably a factory re-set (maybe called default setting or first time installation) then after having re-connected the aerial again go into the TV's tuning menu / manual tune and enter Mux Ch27(BBC) pressing search (or scan) then store channels received, repeat the procedure but this time enter Mux C24(ITV).
Once BBC and ITV is stored use the update channels facility (or whatever is called on your set) to recover the remaining multiplexes.

Hi I live about three miles from the Nottingham transmitter - why have I lost my picture over the weekend - rolling and breaking up - and when tried to retune the freeview machine I have only picked up the signal from East Yorks and Lincs and West Midlands not East Midlands. Any ideas please - this is an intermittent problem and was fine up until Saturday morning. Any help greatfully received

Oh where to start.. i live in Nottingham and our antenna (along with 99% of all the visible antenna around) was pointing at the south yorks & lincs transmitter, which has worked fine for several months, however recently we have been loosing channels and getting poor reception, so after surfing the net and finding this website i discovered that there is another transmitter nearby ( east midlands, in Kimberly) so i adjust the antenna (remembering to change from horizontal to vertical) and do a full retune, nearly all channels have vastly improved signal strenght, however i am very confused if bbc1, bbc2, bbc3 share the same MUX how is it that bbc1 & bbc2 have a good strong signal, whilst bbc3 does not it is so bad that it's not watchable, all other channels appear fine.
Thanks Andy

andy: This is usually because the channels are being received from two different transmitters, the corresponding BBC1 (and possibly BBC2) to the errant BBC3 could be stored in the 800's of the channel list. Did you do a factory reset to clear the channel list of all data before scanning for channels? I am wondering if BBC3 was off air when you rescanned, so the box did not treat it like the other channels that were broadcasting at the time, leaving the old reference from Belmont in place.

KMJ: I think you were right, apologies for not doing the 'full reset' correctly the first time, but having done it with the antenna disconnected and then connected again has cured the problem. Thanks for the help.

MRS J: The fact that you are receiving different regional programming to which (I assume) your aerial faces and which you normally receive means that you are receiving signals from another transmitter. This is likely to be Sutton Coldfield. If you bring up the signal strength screen when on BBC One it will probably give you the UHF channel number (equivalent to frequency). For Sutton Coldfield BBC One is on C43. Likewise for ITV1, it is on C46.
There may be a workaround by unplugging the aerial during part of the scan so as to miss out scanning the unwanted channels and whilst scanning the wanted ones. Which channels you want depends on which transmitter your aerial faces. You've said that you aerial is on the roof, which is always a good place for it to be, but have alluded to its direction!
You've posted on the page for the Nottingham transmitter, but when I looked on Streetview, all aerials I could see were on Waltham. The Nottingham transmitter is situated at Kimberley and is intended to serve those who are unable to receive from Waltham, due to the topography.
Assuming that your aerial is directed to Waltham, then run the automatic tuning scan and unplug the aerial when it gets to 30%. Then plug it in again when it gets to 55%.
Once you have finished, (looking on the signal strength screen) BBC One should be tuned to C61, ITV1 to C54, BBC One HD (if applicable) to C58, ITV3 to C29, Pick TV to C56 and Yesterday to C57. (These channel numbers are those used by Waltham.)
If any of these are incorrect, then post back telling us what they are and I will see if I can suggest something else to try.
