From Wikipedia: The channel's annual budget for 2011/12 is 1,166.6 million.3 Along with the BBC's other domestic television stations, and many European broadcasters and some in Asia, it is funded principally by the television licence fee, and therefore shows uninterrupted programming with no commercial advertising at any time. It is currently the most watched television channel in the United Kingdom, ahead of its traditional rival for ratings leadership, ITV1. This system used a vertically-scanned image of 30 lines just enough resolution for a close-up of one person, and with a bandwidth low enough to use existing radio transmitters. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about BBC One HD on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Barry Nicol I live 12 miles from Crystal Palace and have a loft aerial with an amplifier feeding 5 rooms. Everything was fine until I bought a Sony HD freeview TV which was sharing the same aerial feed as my Sony PVR/DVD/HDD. SD channels were fine but all 4 HD channels on the TV won't work if the PVR/DVD/HDD is on at the same time. I simply ran an extra aerial feed from the amplifier to my living room so the HD freeview TV doesn't have to share with the PVR/DVD/HDD & problem solved. I'm sure your situation is completely different to mine but my point is that the tuner in my Sony TV seems to require a stronger signal for HD reception so maybe you need to strengthen the signal by improving the aerial or adding an amplifier if you don't already have one.

Briantist: According to the What Satellite web page, it seems as though Formula One will be providing a High Definition satellite feed for this years Grand Prix season. Also the BBC have decided to use this satellite feed to show the qualifing stages and the races.

NottsUK: Yes, I saw that. The only reason they didn't in the past was that it wasn't sourced in HD.

I bought a Freeview HD box for the World Cup and it worked fine after an aerial upgrade. After the cup finished, so did the HD reception! I note that Crystal Palace HD transmissions are "below average". WHY? Will things improve after the changeover?
I can't help feeling I was fooled into buying HD well before its time...

We are due to lose analogue in September but were requested to retune last evening which we did both our Sony TV and Humax receiver /recorder. Now can get HD, BBC etc when the Humax is on but when we put the Humax into Stand-by we do not get any HD on our Sony.Any suggestions please.
