My Freeview HD box is now prompting me that there is a HD version of a program I'm watching. But when I choose the HD option it says "signal lost". It has only just started doing this. Have they been playing with Rowridge with respect to HD?

Mark: Rowridge won't be broadcasting HD until 2012. I would ignore any such message.

We, too, in Chandler's Ford no longer get Mux C programmes - no problem until a couple of months ago, and nothing else has changed - still high external aerial and two good Sony tuners. Does Briantist know the answer to this one ?
