Further to my previous query re intermittent reception of some channels
I have asked some neighbors and they have the same problem.
Considering the transmitter is so close this is disappointing.
Is there any chance of them increasing the power of those channels which
they currently transmit at half power?

Getting no HD channels in BS14 area. SD are fine.
Don't think it's my kit but don't have another HD enabled TV to try it on.

Brian: If you look at the top of the page, you'll see that if you are using this transmitter, then the PSB3 mux is HD. If your not getting the mux, thats another matter, but you should be able to get the bulk of HD channels. Is your TV actually an HD TV? By that, I dont mean 'Full HD' - thats just the panel (old trick of certain retailers), but does it have an HD (DVB-T2) tuner? If not, then either you'll need a TV that does have one, or add a box that does (starts around 44 quid). If you give us the model/make of your TV, we can tell you.
