Sutton Coldfield is currently on a temporary mast and this does appear to be causing some problems. You need to delete all your radio and TV channels and manually tune the following uhf channels 41 42 47 51 52 55

Freeview on Sutton Coldfield TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent digital TV + switchover advice, since 2002

You will note from the above link that channels 52 and 55 are muxes C & D from Sutton.

Bad weather interferes with the digital transmissions and this is particularly noticeable at long range. This problem will not occur after dso but meantime try a rescan of channels 52 and 55 on a good clear day (no rain).

You could also try fitting a single outlet TV booster to see if that will improve reception from Sutton.
