lee jackson: Are you sure it's Whitehawk Hill, as the transmitter appears to be over the radio horizon at your location, unless you aerial is very high up indeed.

Hi Brian
I wonder if you can help, I have noticed today (6/2/12) 18:30 on ITV1, blocks of different types of colour keep appearing on our TV screens. I have never seen this before. It seems that only ITV1 is effected. I checked your website which says that the Whitehawk Transmitter is not experiencing any problems and no engineering works are taking place. I'm at a lost why this is occurring. We use Freeview, all I can think of maybe its due to the weather. We are not IT minded at all I'm afraid. Thank you for your time and help regarding this matter.

Hi Brian, thanks for getting back to me. Normal service seems to have returned, thankfully, as it became impossible to watch ITV1 due to the colour blocks flashing up without getting a headache. I will book mark your helps links in case this situation occurs again, hopefully it won't. Many thanks for your help and time with this.

Clare McNeil: I'm glad to hear that the problem has gone away. Switchover isn't that far away and the much improved signals then should see this kind of issue be a thing of the past!
