manda: The sky dish and the freeview box wont work together, and the dish has to be pointed at a point somewhere above the Congo. In short, your dish has nothing to do with your freeview signal.
Best guess? The aerial you have (which should be pointing to Crystal Palace, since its very powerful) isn't working properly, and you need to get it checked.

M.SHARROD: have you read the above comments?
A) Your TV/PVR doesn't have a T2/HD tuner
B) Your transmitter doesn't have the channel - not all do, because its a commercial channel, and they dont have cover all transmitters.

colin lister: Check signal strength - could be too high. But if too low, check those cables again.

Clive: Your pretty close to two transmitters and you should get an excellent signal from either. Check the mux that channel is on, and then look at the signal strength. I'm guessing it very very low.
Best bet, since almost all your TV's are being hit, that its your system, and something probably common to all - perhaps a splitter, etc. Check the connects generally.

lesley w: Check your system - the TV is telling you its not getting a signal, so logically, you need to trace the problem back from the TV.
But check signal strength as well - your actually closer to Waltham than Sandy heath - not impossible your accidently tuned to that transmitter instead, and your signal might be too high, not too low.

Annette Routledge: You can check at the top of the page if there is engineering work (there has been for the past couple of days), but to be honest, if your using an indoor aerial and your often getting a rubbish signal, that because your using an indoor aerial - they just are not very good.

Andy: Give us a model and make of the TV to make sure it does have an HD tuner. But if you are getting 101, etc, but not other HD channels, then your either in an area which doesn't have those services (light transmitter?), or you have a problem with your system.
Check signal strength and then the signal path - if the TV is telling you there is no signal, the TV is OK and telling you its your system. Could be as basic as a rubbish aerial lead into the TV.

Andy: That TV CERTAINLY has an HD tuner, so its almost certainly your system, and sounds like a dodgy wire somewhere.
Look at your readings for strength - 94% on one mux, but zero for another, and 30% for another. This can happen with a loose connection or damaged aerial cable, where some muxes are fine, while others are messed up.
Since your just 14km from Winter Hill, it might be that 94% reading shows just how strong your signal is, even though something is seriously borked. Start with changing the aerial lead, it might be as simple as that.

Janice hepple : Check the transmitter info at the top of the page - it seems fine. Logically, it is your system.
