Laurence beckford: The Brushford transmitter definitely does broadcast the PSB3 multiplex carrying BBC One HD, BBC Two HD, ITV HD, Channel 4 HD & Channel 5 HD, as these channels are broadcast from every transmitter without exception and there are no faults showing for Brushford. Have you ever been able to receive the HD channels, or how long have they been missing? What make/model TV do you have and does it have the Freeview HD or Freeview Play logo?
