andy brookes: I can 100% guarantee this isn't the case. The only places with 4G-at-800 testing are in London, and the next tests are in Brighton.

I rely on the Ubley transmitter for TV reception, and have been recently losing channels early in the morning (say from 6 30 to 7 45 am). Sometimes the BBC channels go, (eg BBC 1 BBC 2 News channel CBBC and red button) and all others are ok, and sometimes it's the other way round (eg no ITV or channel 4 etc etc). All channels usually come back before 9 am and are fine for the rest of the day. Any advice would be welcome. I have tried retuning several times but it makes no difference.

I live in East Harptree and my postcode is BS40 6AY.
