MRS J: Look in the 800s of the channel list for alternative BBC1 and ITV1 regions. If there are any, is one of them for the East Midlands? Your aerial might be pointing at Sutton Coldfield, which would give the strongest signal on West Midland services, or it could point at Waltham which should give a stronger signal on the East Midland channels, but due to the West Midlands being found first when scanning for channels, it often results in these channels being stored in the "normal" positions in the channel list with the different (East Mids) versions being stored in the 800s.

I lose BBC + freeview channels when the weather is bad this is getting to be a very big issue as we ofton miss programs that we
wnat to watch. We have had the whole system checked out from the aerial down to the telivision input
and no problem has been found, our signal is very strong. The aerial is sited on the gable end of the house.

Christine Ratcliffe: You would appear to be receiving from Waltham rather than Nottingham. Waltham is undergoing engineering works which may affect signals. You may or may not have been suffering poor reception for a longer period.
Winter Hill also broadcasts high power on UHF channel 61, although I'm not so sure that it might be the cause of your woes.
The terrain plot shows that the path between the transmitter and you is close to the ground for the final few miles which could be a source of issue:
Terrain between ( m a.g.l.) and (antenna m a.g.l.) - Optimising UK DTT Freeview and Radio aerial location
I see that other houses in the area have tall masts and large aerials which are probably a sign.
I'm not an installer, so the professionals may be able to add to what I'm saying.
Refer to the plot and imagine that the signal line is a light. With the path being close to the ground, objects such as trees and buildings could potentially be in the way. You know what happens when it gets near the end of daylight and the sun is low in the sky which causes long shadows.
Intermittent problematic reception caused by such reception can affect only one or two frequencies. Moving the aerial may be the only way - it is a try it and see thing I believe.
The only other thing I can wonder (as I say, I'm not a professional) is whether because your aerial is looking over your roof-top with the chimney not being immediately in front, but perhaps at 30 or 40 degrees to the direction the aerial is facing is whether when these get wet that they cause reflections such that it degrades the BBC frequency.
I note on Streetview that your roof tiles were replaced in 2009. I don't know whether that might have any bearing, e.g. whether newer tiles are more likely to be reflective, perhaps helped by them being wet.
"If" any of these (roof tiles or something else on your roof) is the cause of the issue, then perhaps mounting the aerial on the gable end that faces the transmitter. I say "if" because it could be some effect (reflection or refraction) that occurs further away from you such as if vegetation is in the way, and for that the solution is much more difficult.

I can not receive BBC & Freeview channels when the weather is bad this is now geting be yond a joke and is quite maddening when you want to watch a surtain program, we have had the system checked from the ariel right down to the input in the telivision and can not find a problem there, we have a good strong signal so no problem there.
I asked the same question on the net and was told to get intouch with with our tranmiter so can you please sort some thing out.
We pay a full telivison licence but cannot watch half the channels.
PS no telivison tonight as the weather is bad so will not be able to watch my favourite channel.

Millions will have to pay to get Freeview TV - Home News - UK - The Independent
This article basically says that if you live within 2k of the new 4G transmitters you will get interference from them and will not be able to tune in to many freeview channels. I am unable to get BBC1, 2, 3 and 4 and intermittent reception for Dave and Dave ja vu. The above link may go some way towards explaining your problem. I am presently looking into getting rid of virgin media as they keep putting their prices up but having read this article in the Independent I may wait a bit until the Government agrees to pay not only the filter costs but also the installation costs before switching to Freeview +. Hope this helps.

Deb: It does not help spreading misinformation. The article says that "Estimates suggest that between 2.3m and 3m households within 2km of 4G transmitters - face interference with their television pictures, with some losing their signals entirely."
This does not say that all those who live within 2km of 4G transmitter will be affected.
The link does not explain Christine's problem unless you are suggesting that a 4G operator is acting illegally by broadcasting on the 800MHz frequencies which are those that will affect TV reception. These have not been auction off yet and so should be silent.
EE has been allowed to run its 4G network using some of its 1800MHz allocation which is what it uses for GSM/2G services.

Deb: The most likely scenario for interference from 4G is where the Freeview signal is weak and the 4G signal is strong. Adding a wideband amplifier to the viewer's aerial with no filtering will result in the 4G signal becoming so strong that it overloads the tuner. The use of group A, B or K aerials where frequency allocation permits, plus good quality double screened coax will minimise unnecessary pick-up of the 4G signal in addition to the use of filters. A very small percentage of viewers who wish to receive C60 or C59 could have problems filtering out a strong 4G signal on say C61, especially if they are receiving from a vertically polarised relay transmitter.It has been acknowledged that changing to a transmitter in a different direction/ on a lower frequency/ horizontally polarised if possible could offer a solution in such cases, otherwise satellite or cable reception might be the only suitable alternative.

I have pixelleted picture going every few seconds to "no signal" on my freeview television since 2nd February 2013 (2months now)I have a roof aerial and should be receiving from Sandy Heath transmitter. I can only get BBc Look North News instead of Look East now. This is also pixellated and loses signal. I have already asked for assistance to resolve this. I have re-tuned many times with no difference in transmission quality. Please Help

M Kingshott: If you're not getting Look East then clearly you aren't tuned in to Sandy Heath - Look North will be from Belmont.
You should do a manual retune after clearing the channel from you TV (first time installation/factory settings with aerial out) then add back the following UHF channel in the manual search option: 27 24 21 (HD) 51 52 48.

Having reset my tv and tried scanning for channels... Nothing! Just keep getting a 'No channel found. Please check local signal availability' message. Live in city centre of Nottingham and have had numerous power cuts recently... Anyone know anything? Thanks
