Signal strength for Freeview covering ITV1, 2, 3, Channel Five, Channel 4 and several others is pretty much non-existent at the moment (since 22 June), and this is the 2nd prolonged period where digital signal for these channels has been total rubbish. Is this what I can expect permanently when the digital chageover occurs in September? If so what is the point of disconnecting the analogue signal if digital channels won't be receivable. I have the appropriate aerials, set-top box and also a new TV with an internal Freeview tuner which doesn't pick most of the ITV based channels. Any ideas?

matt: Your signal may be too strong. If you have a booster or amplifier, remove it from your system. If you don't, you may have to fit an attenuator.
