Hiya! Got Channel 26 and scanned it but the signal quality is virtually zero. If the Itv and Channel 4 do appear on the list then the reception is so poor that there audio only which keeps breaking up. I guess I'll need to either wait for the signal to return or.......? If I do find the answer then I'll post it so that others will not waste their time like me!
There is no reported problem at the transmitter: https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace. There are only these two reports of a problem. That suggests something very local to you affecting reception of the signal. If you have an indoor aerial, I assume you've tried changing its orientation. I did have to rotate mine a little to get that multiplex clearly. Perhaps you two could check with each other to see if you're closely located or along the same bearing from Crystal Palace, or even have the same TV or Freeview model.
We have a digital aerial so I'm not quite sure how to reposition or even check it?! We had all channels functioning perfectly till Sunday. Given up for the night, the channels reappeared on the list and there were some intermittent on screen images but they kept fluctating. I have a Samsung smart tv (3 years old) which has internal freeview. Thanks for your advice, much appreciated.

Lizd, does your digital tv also receive HD channels? ITV and C4 may work for you that way? They're on channel 103 and 104 on Freeview.


Another alternative is if you have the ITV Hub app on your Samsung TV, you can watch ITV via that live or through a Now TV box or Amazon Fire stick.

It's less likely that anything will affect a fixed external aerial. You could check with your neighbours, especially any in the same building, whether they've exerienced a similar recent problem with that multiplex or know of any recent possible source of interference. Have a look through a "Possible causes of interference" checklist like this one. https://at800.tv/useful-guides/. I'm not recommending the filter btw; it's just that it's a clear guide. If you do find that others in the wider neighbourhood are experiencing similar interference, I'd be wondering whether a local 4G telephone base station had recently changed its behaviour.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
