Peterhead
Around 4 weeks ago our Freeview signal for CH50 BBC channels went dead for a few hours. Since it has returned we have only 50% signal strength. The other channels on CH62 remained at full strength and continue to be. My postcode is AB421LA, my aerial is outside on roof....because of the drop in signal strength we get constant drops in sound and boxes appear but only on the BBC channels.
