Hi, bought a HUMAX HDR fox T2 the other week to replace my ageing freeview recorder and to get freeview HD.
Have just seen Andy Dougall's post on 2/12/10 and i also live in York. My rooftop aerial is pointing SW (so i presume to Emley Moor, which is the same as other houses on my street). I have exactly the same issue as him.
According to the freeviewHD site (http://www.freeview.co.uk/HD) post code checker i should get the HD channels, but you inform me that since its at low level York is not covered. How come there is conflicting info, where did you see that York is not covered?
Thanks very much, Matt.

Matt: If you check that site again you will see the disclaimer notice immediately under the "prediction" of what's possible in the York area, the disclaimer being very applicable in this case as what's receivable is not exactly as stated on the prediction, emphasis being on the latter word as that's what always applies when carrying out checks using these type of sites as its nearly impossible for anyone to give exact forecasts.

Thanks for your response jb38.
Given that this "prediction" as all i had to go on as a consumer before buying a freeview HD box, surely it is very important for digital UK to ensure that this information is as accurate as possible?
As that site is given out as the official site, then most people are going to rely on that information as i did and trying to find the odd post on an independent message board such as this, is a bit too much to expect.

Matt Mikola: Yes, I fully appreciate and understand your annoyance as you obviously tried to find out what you could receive, but unfortunately just like most things nowadays the detail is in the small print and maybe its this that could be made somewhat larger than it is to draw peoples attention to it.
You see the point is that a near 100% accurate prediction of what is achievable can only be given if its a pair of wires that connects the source to the receiver, with satellite signal prediction dropping to about 90% accuracy, however when dealing with terrestrial signals exact sciences, nor anywhere near them, does not come into it as so many variables exist, with this applying to both forecasting of the areas that's possible to receive a given signal and also the best aerial to use for the reception of, biggest in many cases most definitely "not" being the best, albeit to the gullible they are of great benefit in a psychological way!
Anyway I can fully endorse the Humax you have purchased as they have great receivers as far as sensitivity is concerned.

Briantist: now that C39 and C40 aren't going to be cleared, can you add them back to the list in the 'switchover complete' box below the map?

nats: Can you provide a full postcode? Any idea which transmitter your aerial is pointing to?
Emley Moor does provide an early HD service on C39. It's likely that you were getting fringe reception from here and that the conditions are only right for this to work from time to time.
Worksop looks like it might be within Emley Moor's analogue coverage area but the temporary HD service is on very low power. The preferred transmitter is Belmont, which does not yet broadcast HD. If your aerial points east, you will be getting reduced signal levels as well.
Keep an eye out for information regarding switchover at the Belmont, Waltham and Emley Moor transmitters. Belmont will start HD transmissions on the 17th of August, Waltham on the 31st, and Emley Moor transmissions will go full power, on final channels, on 21 September.
