Why can I not get the BBC HD channels on a digital HD ready TV today yet I can get these channels now on another older HD TV which has a Freeview Digital Box attached which I have retuned today?
I have tried retuning the HD ready TV on C39 618Mhz for the HD channels but none were found.

Bob Fidler; Simply because TV's of the "HD Ready" variety are not fitted with tuners capable of responding to an HD signal, types that are being DVB-T2 capable whereas those that aren't are only DVB-T, "no signal" usually being seen if any attempt is made to manually tune in an HD multiplex.
If anyone has any doubts about whether their TV can (or cannot) receive HD transmissions if the look at the back of their instruction manual / specifications / tuner, its nearly always shown there.
In other words "HD Ready" indicates that the TV is capable of showing an HD image but only from an externally connected source, HD Ready being something that has misled numerous people by in my opinion UK trading standards not insisting that HD Ready stickers should be displayed as "HD Ready" - (from external source)

We have a problem on C41+ in that the programmes break up making the picture unwatchable. We had this before the changeover and I hoped that the change and increased power would solve it.
The signal strength shows as 27% and quality 100% whereas BBC (C45) has strength 31% and Quality 100%
Any ideas what we can do to improve the position

I have retuned my set, but it will not pick up any of the ITV channels without further retuning. All BBC channels are OK. I have contacted the TV supplier and they tell me that works are still underway at Hannington and that there is no fault on the tv itself. Could you advise what I should do, please?
I have a roof mounted aerial.

Film 4 and Yesterday are now only intermittently available here in Winchester and I see that the broadcast power for COM5 and COM6 is currently "very low". Will it ever move up into the "low" category, or possibly higher, so I can resume watching these channels as I have since Freeview started. I have a good rooftop aerial and a signal amplifier for connection to my TV which is driven by a PC with a Hauppage TV card.

Richard Gibson: Remove the signal booster, your receiver could be desensitised by the higher power signals.
I haven't seen anything to say that COM5 and COM6 are on lower power than what they were on before. Thus, that is why I would suggest that problem is caused by the higher power digital services.
The "desensitising" is a bit like your eyes being desensitised to poor light outside at night with the light in the room turned on.
Amplification could be unnecessary. See here:

tony: Is the probalem that the wrong ITV region is being picked up? If ITV London is being picked up, then I assume that this is coming from Crystal Palace.
The most generic answer is to run the automatic tuning scan with the aerial unplugged for the first 25% so as to miss out the frequencies used by CP.
