According to this, it may be due to signal changes. Worth phoning to see if you qualify for a free visit.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Don't retune on a sunny day or when it is actually raining. From personal experience high cloud cover (no sun or other atmospheric issues) gives the best results.0

To retune Freeview you first unplug the aerial and do a full re-scan, this clears any stored channels. Once it's finished, pug the aerial back in and do it all over again.0
