Just seen Elliot's comment and our problems seem similar. Could it be the proximity of the Rouncefall transmitter? Or are we over amplifying the signal?

Tessa, the opening and closing ceremonies and each days highlights (broadcast after 11:00pm) were shown on BBC HD (including the Sudbury transmitter) in side by side mode and appeared on ordinary TV's 2 squashed images side by side. This was on BBC HD not BBC1 HD.

My postcode is SS5 4BH and for the last few years I have been receiving a variable service from the Sudbury transmitter. I was hoping to get an improved sevice at switchover. At midnight on 19 July when the analogue and Mux 2 signals were switched off, I appeared to get improved reception from Mux A, but from the following morning when the revised Mux 2 (and presumably HD) were switched on, I am only receiving recognisable signals from Mux 1 & 2 and these are not consistantly useable. The signal strength is high but the quality is poor. I am only 1km from the new Rouncefall transmitter and it is 60deg east of the Sudbury bearing (45km away). Could the Rouncefall signal be preventing me from receiving a useable signal from Sudbury? (I would rather be receiving the full Freeview Service from Sudbury than the partial service being transmitted from Rouncefall.).
