Not sure if this is the correct place to mention this but am having problems with programmes on Mux 2 and A from Rowridge since retune yesterday. Blocking and freezing of all stations on these 2 Mux's, signal strength same for all Tx channels and symptons happen on two Tv,s plus signal meter. I notice the 2 Mux's are listed as low but the rest are maximum does this imply this is the problem with these 2 Mux's or mean something else.

I had a bad signal with ITV, Channel 4, 5 and a few other channels yesterday from around 15:00pm. I stupidly tried to re-tune my freview box and now they are not even detected. BBC1, 2, E4,ITV4 and lots of other channels are ok. I have not experienced problems before (unless bad weather). I have tried all my connections and all are ok. Is there any reason for this i.e engineering works etc?

I am having problems with TV reception generally the signal levels on all channels is OK. However there is intermittent noise which causes the signals to breakup this is worse on Mux 2 and A but it occurs also on all the other Muxs.
How is the best way to find and isolate this problem and find out protect or improve my aerial system.
Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
