C21 (474.0MHz) after switchover

Bought a Freeview HD telly (Sony) recently, have a standard sky box/dish so was not too bothered about freeview other than the 4 free HD channels that would be available. I receive my signal from the Blackhill transmitter in Scotland and should receive the HD channels according to the postcode check. I plugged the cable into the wall socket and crossed my fingers. A Digital Auto Scan (full range) picked up the HD channels but they were more or less unwatchable. So I bought a signal booster and bingo all 4 HD channels came to life (without a re-scan) holding a strong signal quality and strength. After 3 days of glorious HD (forgot that I had a sky subscription :)) with no interuption in the HD channels at all, I accidently moved the signal booster (which was randomly placed near my front window in the first place) and suddenly all 4 HD channels have disappeared and have not come back. I unplugged, respositioned, manual scanned, auto scanned again and again, tried everything they just wont come back even the channel number i.e 50,51 has gone. Any advice would be appreciated?

Yes, I agree. Looks like my HD channels are still holding quite well allbeit with a relatively poor signal strengh and quality. When the power increases I should be safe enough with what I have got by the looks of it. Going to invest in a decent Coax Male to Male cable though.

Thanks.
