iain scott: Just guessing, but its likely your not tuned into Selkirk, but Calbeck. Have a look at the Digital UK link. Selkirk is on Channel 50, whilst Calbeck is 25-27. Tuners often start on the low numbers...

iain scott: You say it's "Full HD", but is it "Freeview HD" which means does it contain a DVB-T2 tuner? The model number would allow assertion as to whether it does.

Desmond kerr: This sounds like interference, which a battery-powered AM radio might locate. It could potentially be in a neighbouring property.
Things like the motor in the three-way port valve in your central heating/hot water system could be a culprit, for example.
