Thank you, We have good signal from channel 44 but nothing from channel 41.
How do we go about fixing this? is it the position of our ariel or do we need a new one maybe?
BTW I was mistaken about film4 we do have that, it just the HD channels I am missing.

Thanks Dave.
When I check signal for channel UHF 41 there is nothing. No signal strength or quality.
Most of the other channels show excellent signal quality and reasonable strength (about half it's potential).
Channel UHF 47 is a problem, mostly in the evenings but sometimes during the day too. It shows 'excellent' quality although unlike the other channels you can actually see the bar fluctuation. The signal strength seems to remain constant, but isn't very strong, it's just about in the yellow band but can drop into the red band.
Watching BBC channels is frustrating, the picture freezes for a second or so every few seconds. I don't have this problem on my other (Older) box though which is odd!
We don't have sky etc, and everything else inc DVD player is generally turned off at the mains when not in use. We just have the one roof ariel as only one TV in the house.
I do have a mains powered portable ariel that we used to use upstairs, would that be worth trying do you think? I assumed it wouldn't be enough for digital TV (not that I know anything about these things!)

Thank you so much for all your help. I don't mind looking into getting my arial upgraded if there is a good chance it will resolve the problem.
I just didn't want t get ripped of by a company who will say it needs doing even though it doesn't!
We'll try it and see what happens anyway! Thank you.

Just occured to me that we get Look North so I guess that means we are receiving from the Emley Moor Transmitter? Would that be right?
