Continual problem for us too (outside Halkirk). Usually we cannot get some of the ITV channels. Last night we had a different scenario - could get ITV but not BBC1, 2 or 3. Could get BBC4 OK as well as Dave, etc. No idea what's going on.

There are continuing transmitter engineering works which I believe are enabling the lower output channels to be upgraded and a better signal overall.
The following info can be found on the Freeview Transmitter webpage for Rumster - poor reception and short service breaks for digital, analogue and radio look like continuing until some time in November.

Whilst I can not comment on the technical aspects of Freeview, I visited the Rumster Mast yesterday afternoon and can confirm lots of vans, skips, aerial baskets, cables etc at the mast. Considerable work seems to be in progress.

Thats a shame for you but mine here in Wick is going fine, it maybe depends on the area they are fixing.
