Long shot, but anyone in/around Bracknell had an awful TV signal since this time last night? Just re-tuned but made no difference. Quite possibly its our aerial (shared, on top of the block of flats) but its never been less than perfect in the 8 years ive lived here...

Update - for anyone in the area that is also having problems, i have just called "AT800" (a company set up by the mobile operators to fix problems with 4G signal interfering with freeview signal) and they confirmed that on the same day my issues started a 4G mast was switched on over the road...
They are sending me a free signal filter box to cover me until the main communal aerial has a more powerful one fitted.
Call 0808 1313800 if you are having patchy signal recently.

The little filter for my flat - no, didn't make the slightest difference. So ended up on the again phone speaking to AT800 and Bracknell Forest Homes (the freeholder of our flats) and earlier this week came and fitted the super-duper filter to the main communal aerial - thankfully that's now done the job and I have TV back after 3 weeks without!

Not sure really - i had assumed it was just over the road from me (by the Aldi in Birch Hill) as a few days before the problems started one of the masts was being replaced.
