Reigate
Have been using Freeview for a few years from Reigate transmitter with no issues. Final DSO happened this morning. Retuned a few times, and then even did factory reset already, but still having 'juddering' issues with all channels on Multiplex D3+4 on C57. Helped Neighbour with retune of 3 devices and they're having similar issues. Anyone know how to report this ? Drawn a blank so far !

Since the retunes, I get pixillation on the relevant channels but only at certain times of day, mainly 7.30 to 10.30 in evening. I may have a faulty lead but the timing bothers me. Does anyone know if the Reigate transmitter ups its signal at peak times to meet supply demands. If so, this may overload the signal.

Peter there is a general muck up across the board for many members of the public at this time so i would hold tight and not rush to get a cowboy to take a look
All genuine Aerial contractors that i have spoken to at this time are fully booked for the next 3 weeks at least so would hang fire

Peter: Transmitters don't vary their output power over the day.
You've said that you're in RH2. Whilst this is a large area, it is where the transmitter is. If you have good line of sight to it, your receiver could be suffering from signal overload which at times overwhelms it. Perhaps a bit of attenuation wouldn't go a miss.
