This is a typical symptom of poor signal reception. Maybe the signal was stronger at your sister's place?

If you type in your nearest transmitter, this site will probably help. http://www.ukfree.tv/fullstory.php?*******=110 7051054

You can get 'stronger' ones, amplifiers, I think they call them. I don't know if they're any good though. I'm right near a transmitter, so get freeview ok, but they're working on it at the moment, so all the neighbours etc are having probs, works going on 'til May ! Have you tried the old standing on one leg with your hand on your hip?? ;-)
