This has started happening recently and I've no idea why. I haven't changed anything. Some channels are always fine, and some are fine some of the time. I went through tonight and 18, 19,22, 25, 31, 35, 39, 42 and 47 are breaking up dreadfully. (I didn't go past 47 as the only other thing I look at is the news channel 231 and that's okay). Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, please?

I'd guess it's the connections somewhere on your antenna. Poor connection = poor signal strength = poor picture. I presume your antenna hasn't moved in the wind?

Your TV could be latching on to the wrong transmitter, most of Greasby should using the Storeton Transmitter and is normally used with a vertically polarised aerial on Multiplexors 28, 25, 22, 23, 26, 29, 30

Some channels changed in March. Take a look at the Digital Spy forum and the coverage checker of Digital UK. They should give you a better idea, including expected signal strengths at your location. Your TV or set-top-box (STB) should be able to show you both the channel number (of the mux) and signal strength and digital quality of the particular program channel you are looking at. This is usually found in the set-up screen. Quite apart from any potential antenna problems, is there any amplifier or filter in the co-ax between the two? Finally, possibly the strangest one - Is the signal too strong? This could overload the tuner and cause distortion of the wanted signal.
