A few evenings ago, turned on the telly to find the picture stuttering and breaking up badly. An hour or two later, there was nothing but a silent, black screen, with 'No or bad signal' messages on every channel.
Next day, it was back to normal. Until the evening. When it started breaking up badly, then again died altogether.
Which established a pattern. It's now like this every day.
Between 2 & 6pm today, the signals (as reported by Humax PVR 'Manual Tune') from two of our local transmitters went from:
(22) Strength 50%; Quality 100%
(29) Strength 61%; Quality 100%
To:
(22) Strength 18%; Quality 0%
(29) Strength 20%; Quality 10%
Googling throws up loads of suggestions along the lines of checking cables & connections, which I've done, but it makes no difference - no great surprise there, since if it was something along those lines, you'd expect it to be consistent all the time.
Or, maybe interference from a street light? But the break up starts before the street lights come on.
Or it could be interference from a microwave oven, LED lighting or something along those lines - but we've changed nothing in the house.
And every night it's the same: fine at lunchtime; dead by dinnertime. (Though even stranger, it sometimes comes back, partially or fully, at certain times in the evening. Last weekend's MoTD, eg, was flawless.)
It's driving me nuts (and no-one else in the house is exactly hooraying about it).
Any ideas gratefully received.
