Started losing the freeview signal here in Bournemouth BH2 around 5 minutes ago. This is happening on an almost daily basis now.
We have a notoriously bad reception here in the town centre (high churches with lead rooves, tall buildings) but this is happening too often now.
I've checked the cables.
