Low or no quality

I am in Omagh and I get my Freeview from Brougher Mountain. For the past week or two the HD channels on UHF 37 have little or no Signal and very low or no Quality, making them unwatchable. I wonder what's wrong? Interference from another transmitter?

It could be the start of the high pressure summer weather season.

While digital signals are more reliable than the old analogue used to be in high pressure conditions, they can still be affected by various aspects, such as signal path variation or co channel interference from other transmitters that don't usually travel as far.

Did you ever experience this before, particularly during good weather?

If it's continuously poor over a period of weeks, it's not weather related, & there are no transmitters to cause co-channel interference on that frequency without a bit of help from atmospheric conditions.
