Recently purchased digital stream High def. pvr. Am in the Swadlincote area and unable to tune to any HD Channels. I can get CH 5 analog with the best picture of all the analog channels on widebeam aerial. The unit will find 125 SD services On my setup. Tried at another address anout 2 miles away with the same result. Any ideas before I return the unit to retailer.

bobpass, I also live in Swadlincote (DE119DP), and suffer the same problems as you. I have just bought a new Sony kdl32ex403u and it picks up all sd freeview stations, but no HD. I also have very good signal, infact great signal on analogue Chanel 5.
Surely I should be getting the HD channels??

Neil: No, you are probably too far from the transmitter to get the weak pre-switchover HD signals. You will get the HD services at switchover.

Ok, so why dies the digital ok website suggsest otherwise?? Also I'm sure that I have read you say that if you can receive good signal on channel five analogue, you should be able to receive the freeview HD channels??

Neil: What, the site that say the signal comes from the wrong transmitter?
Analogue five doesn't predict Freeview HD reception, it is the other way around, no analogue five shows you won't get it.
You might just get Freeview HD with a high-quality rooftop aerial installation, but anything else you are going to have to wait.

Yes i see your point. I just assumed that they used the Sutton coldfield name, to include the Lichfield transmitter as well!!
I guess I'll just have to wait until September then!! I was beggining to think my tv was faulty!!!
