Good morning
Since yesterday I have not been able to receive HD channels 101 - 109.
I have tried retuning with no success.
Can you tell me if there is a problem with HD channels on Freeview @ KA10 7FE
Regards
David Nixon

David Nixon : The BBC Reception website [bbc.co.uk/reception] is not showing any faults for the Darvel transmitter.
The HD services are on the PSB3 (BBC B) multiplex, which is on UHF channel 28 from Darvel, and you should try a manual scan of this channel.
