I'm having very similar problems. Not sure if I should piggy-back on this thread or start a new one...
I live in Bletchingdom (OX5) about 5 miles north-west of the Beckley transmitter, nr Oxford. My aerial is in the roof and hasn't been changed since I've lived here (more than 20 years) so is almost certainly the normal UHF design. Around here, we could get perfectly good analogue reception with a bent coat-hanger!
I have a Humax HDR-FOX T2, which I bought when Freeview+ became available, linked by HDMI to a Panasonic Viera TV (SD Freeview only). The channel I watch most is BBC4 HD (channel 106). This has been unreliable for a year or more - often blocky, sometimes quite unwatchable.
Knowing that Freeview channels move around quite often, I retuned both TV and HDR recently, when the TV prompted me that new channels were available. Since then, BBC4 HD on 106 has gone from the HDR programme guide. Channels 105 (C5 HD), 107 (BBC News HD), 109 (C4+1 HD) and 110 (4seven HD) are all present, though 107, 109 and 110 are unreliable.
What, if anything, has happened to Ch 106-110 on the Beckley transmitter lately? What's the best thing to do about it? Thanks in advance
(PS: what's the "DiUK Predictor" mentioned above? A Google search didn't turn up anything that looked related to digital TV channels.)
