Hi,
I also have been encountering an issue with the same channels that David was referring to:
ITV1
C4
C5
ITV2
C4+1
More 4
E4
ITV1+1
Mine appeared to have gone around the same time (only really noticed last Saturday) - might've gone earlier but never noticed.
I have a communal tv Ariel which is on the roof.
Any suggestions? I've rescanned a number of times but still same issue...
I live in NW8 postcode

Jess,
It is evident from your comments and the comments of others that there is something going on, and there is a general state of denial about it. I did a bit of searching and have discovered that the BBC is responsible for investigating problems with the Crystal Palace transmitter. They have an online form you can plough through in order to lodge a formal request for an investigation. You have to go through several questions, essentially answering no to questions such as "is there an obstruction" or could the weather be affecting it. At various stages you will need to answer that no - this has not answered my question. If you persist you will get to a page that tells you there is a problem they can't resolve via the form, and the will ask for specific details of the problem. My suggestion is that if enough people start using this form, it will be difficult for them to maintain the current state of denial.
The link to the form is:

Copy and then paste this link into your browser.
Hope this helps.
