Below are all of Dan Walters's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.


Malvern WR14, Sutton Coldfield Transmitter.

Did a retune on My Freeview HD tv at lunch time and got all 4 HD channels.

Got home from work tonight and no picture on HD channels but the EPG was there.

Did a retune and HD channels disappeared.

Still not back at 23.52 21.09.2011

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Have now done both as suggested and still no HD channels. It doesn't add any channels when scanning Channel 40.

All others channels being received with no picture problems.

Thanks,

Dan

Dave Adams: Hi Dave, no I am down by the Guarlford straight.

I have now done some more work on this. I can pick up all the HD channels if my aerial down cable is plugged directly into my HDTV. But if I connect via my freeview (non HD PVR) box loop through then I lose all HD channels. I was also losing some signal quality, breaking pictures etc, so I have replaced the cable from my freeview box loop through to the tv. This has cured the picture problems but still no HD channels.

I am now going to hold fire until I replace my aerial at the weekend. This was planned work anyway and if the problem is still there then I shall get a splitter and feed a cable directly to my TV and to my freeview (non HD) PVR.

Initially I shall also aim my new aerial installation at the Malvern repeater and check the results before re-aligning to Sutton Coldfield (if needed).
