Nope.

Nor me -- Braes of Doune, with a great view south. On a clear day I
can see the masts from where I sit.

I get intermittent reception (in West Fife) from Blackhill on some channels
(e.g. Film4, ITV2+1) but others are generally OK.

Mine is fine and always has been since I got a new aerial. Have you
checked you aerial in case it has been moved by all the wind or got
water in the cable? If you are in a flat, has a neighbour spliced in?

Reception here (from Winter Hill) is fine, but this may or may not be
significant.
The old OnDigital box in the bedroom was already tuned to Dave
when I turned the TV on last night, but the screen was blank.
Changing channels to something else then back to Dave restored picture
and sound, so maybe there was a change to the PID or something.

The Grundig Arganto 70 tv nor the Humax 8000 PVR pick them up. Rooftop
aerial is a Televes wideband 43 element aerial.

Don't think the aerial was moved in the storm-analogue tv is as it was.
Could be water in the cable-have tried switching channels, it's not shared.
I'm probably on the fringes of reception in Dollar so a slight change in
power output would hit me hard here.

Worked this out....

The cuplrit was a 'power off' remote control system interfering


For those who're interested in avoiding the device....

With your equipment I hope, not the transmitter at Blackhill :-)
