Bought my first Freeview HD television for Christmas and find that the com8 (ch35) multiplex keeps disappearing. It wasn't much of a loss, but now that BBC4 HD has moved to this group it's a little more annoying. I live in Ealing, West London, so well within the Crystal Palace footprint. Is this a known problem or likely to be a problem with my aerial?

Thank you Mikes B & P.

The strengths of channels 33 and 35 are well down, but that possibly reflects the reduced transmission powers. However, I'm looping the aerial through an old Humax PVR and eventually came to realise that ch35 was disappearing whenever the PVR was turned on - I hadn't spotted that coincidence before. Turns out that the PVR was modulating its own output onto ch36 which was interfering with ch35. Now moved it up the scale and all is well. Perhaps a warning to others who had forgotten that these devices add their own signal to the aerial feed.

Many thanks again.
