Lost Most Signal

Had my Hummy for nearly 6 months now I guess & apart from locking up in standby & taking ages to start up it's been fine until last night. Picture quality over them 6 months has been fine but now I just have "No or Bad Signal" or "This Channel Is Scrambled Or Unavailable" with a very jitterry pixelated picture if I'm lucky & the signal strength & quality bars are down. I can watch Sky News but that's about it.
I run mine off a communiral aerial in a block of flats & I receive from Ally Pally.
I'm on ground floor so tempted to put up a high gain aerial but doubt I'd get permission. I'm pretty sure it's reception problem I have so has anyne any suggestions on my options?

There is very strong co-channel interference about at the moment due to a large high pressure system over most of western europe. I am having intermittant problems getting a signal from the weaker channels. Take a look at an analogue picture, that will be terrible too!

At least you can watch Analogue when these conditions exist whereas digital completely falls over. Hope no-one notices before the big switch off! It's nice to have a fallback for the present at least

Hmmm, if only. The analogue comes out of back of the Hummy & goes to the bedroom so if I want to I can watch the Hummy in there. Only have scart input to the tv so it was a plug out the wall job & into the tele for the time being & no tv in the bedroom.
