Robert Towning: Assuming that are using Waltham, HD will not be transmitted from there until the second stage of the switchover on the 31st of this month. You should though be receiving BBC far better than any of the other channels, as the BBC multiplex is on high power.
I suspect that the EPG1 BBC you are receiving is from elsewhere, so either carry out a signal check which should indicate the EPG1 Mux channel, or have a look up in the 800 ranges to check if another BBC is indicated there, or even just carry out a manual tune on Mux Ch61 (Waltham BBC1) to check what comes in.
If that procedure gives the desired result, the only way of storing BBC1 in the EPG 1 position is to first of all blank the memory of stored channels, this done by removing the aerial and carrying out a re-scan, then when complete re-connect the aerial and then as before carry out the manual tune on Mux Ch61 again, storing the results.
You can then select to add channels, this filling in the rest without upsetting the BBC already stored.
Some TV / boxes have an area selector in their tuning menu facilities, this cutting short the procedure, but they are all different to each other brand dependant so its difficult to give precise instructions.

I live in Derbyshire and use, I believe, a transmitter in Nottingham - we had the analogue turned off earlier this week and had to retune all digital channels.
Since then the reception on BBC1 had been terrible, it will be fine for a few minutes then picture will freeze, sound will go and it will lose the signal all together for a few seconds then it is back. ITV and other channels seem fine - only BBC is a problem, it was fine before I had to re-tune. Any idea what I can do about this

Paul Curran: I think you will be receiving the transmitter in Waltham, not the Nottingham transmitter as that switched on 30th March and 13th April 2011.
It may be that as the signal has increased at Waltham from 10kW to 50kW then the new higher powered signal is too strong for your aerial and TV.
Brian who runs this website will probably advise you to remove any amplifiers from your aerial system if you have any.
If you don't, try fitting an aerial attenuator. This will help bring the signal down to a more usable level without overloading your system. They can be bought from Maplin and some DIY stores for about £5.

paul curran.
you have probably picked up the belmont transmitter bbc's signal?
if you can check, you will find frequency ch 22 as being stored,
your bbc channels will be in the 800 channel numbers?
you need to factory reset your equipment and then manual tune frequency ch 61 into memory then auto add channels the rest.

Can someone tell me clear information about HD on the Nottingham transmitter. Is it available and if so on what dates.
Please don't tell me information about other transmitters because I only get Nottingham.
Also why can't I seem to find this information, I have looked really had for it.

OK it seems HD should be on Nottingham although I found it hard to get that information here. You need to know what to look for.
My TV does not have HDfreeview so I can't get it on that. I have a USB freeview stick which says it is HD and I can't get it on that either, however I never really believed I could. It only cost about £10 so I can't grumble too much. It is now possible to get similar sticks which do receive HD however they are expensive compared to the SD ones at about £60 so I might give it a miss for the time being and just get a HDfreeview recorder for the TV.

bren: It does say, above
"BBCB Maximum 256QAM 32k 2/3 40Mb/s DVB-T2 MPEG4 400W
50 BBC One HD (UK service without regions), 51 ITV 1 HD (ITV Central West), 52 Channel 4 HD Midlands ads, 54 BBC HD,
• as a digital multiplex transmitted on frequency C21+ (474.2MHz)"
Please see What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - you MUST have a DVB-T2 receiver, a DVB-T receiver with MPEG4 will not work.

My post code is NG3 5BW and pleased to report excellent HD and free-view reception from the Nottingham transmitter both with an outside aerial and with a loft aerial supplying other than the main television
Looking at the switchover information for the 31st i am confused as Nottingham is not listed as a relay of either Waltham or Sutton Coldfield
I realise Nottingham has already switched but was always under the impression it was a relay station of Waltham?
