does anyone else have this problem. I am in the Sandy Heath transmitter region. Thanks
Hi Fiona,
Because you're watching Sky News on Freeview, what you're seeing might be caused by planned engineering work on your local transmitter. The Freeview page (linked below) shows that several transmitters have maintenance scheduled this week (from 02/02/2026), which can cause picture shaking, pixelation, or signal dropouts like you're described.
You can check if your area is affected here:

If your transmitter is listed, that would explain the issues. Freeview advises not to retune your TV while works are ongoing, reception should return to normal once the maintenance is finished.
Hope that helps!
