Since the August 3rd update all of the HD channels (BBC-B?) have disappeared from my Youview box, my Panasonic recorder and my Panasonic tv. I am on the Brierley Hill transmitter in the West Midlands. I have retuned all of the equipment several times without success.
I popped into a local tv shop who are on the same transmitter but at a different angle to me and they said they are still receiving the channels. Any Ideas?

The tv and youview box are on two different aerial cables in the house although they go back to the same aerial and the problem only happened after the august 3rd retune date.

Stuart Haaris: I have a good signal on all other tv channels except channel 7 - Made in Birmingham (Big Centre TV) I believe this is transmitted on channel 29) which pixelates occasionally but is better than it used to be. It is only the HD channels which i believe are transmitted on channel 53 that have disappeared since the august 3rd retune. Who would i contact to find out about this and the directional issue? What are the other forums you mentioned?

I have done all of the things to check my equipment, auto and manual retunes, bypassed my amplifier/splitter etc to no avail. I have since spoken to 3 of my neighbours and also my brother who lives about 0.5 miles away. We have all got the same problem and it started about the time work was being carried out on the transmitter and the August 3rd channel retune. We all have good tv pictures on the MUX channels 50, 55, 57, 59 & 60. But we have all lost the HD channels on BBC-B MUX channel 53. And we have also lost the programs transmitted on MUX channel 29 but to be fair the picture was good on this channel before. As Stuart Harris above reported he had heard on a forum other people in one direction from the transmitter were also reporting the same problems. I have just contacted the BBC to report this for the third time.
