the apprentice on bbc hd is being broadcast in 1080p according to my sony 32ex403 tv. is this right? i thought freeview hd was all 1080i!

argos sell a kit for £21 that gives a 13.5dB gain aerial and everything else you need. this was easy to install in the loft and gives better freeview reception than the professionaly installed 18 element yagi on my roof (better signal strength and quality according to phillips dt210 freeview box signal information page), it's also not affected by bad weather (but it doesn't like suitcases being moved in front of it ). sometimes the cheap option works fine, even if the analogue picture was terrible.

any ideas what's going on with freeview hd from blackhill, had 13% signal quality and 62% strength at 10:30 for russell howard, then back at 86% quality and 88% strength at 11:45. had same issue during grandprix last sunday. why is signal more eratic now than before switchover. ps normal freeview 100% quality and 95% strength all the way through.

thanks briantist, had a look at page and went round turning off heating etc but to no avail. something from someone elses house is either interfering or the signal from blackhill keeps getting turned up and down. currently 49% quality and 82% power, was 100% quality and 95% power around about 5:30. i'm finding it all rather bizarre.

anyone know why blackhill is transmitting mux b (bbc4/cbbebies) on less power than normal for the last 2 days,my tv in the extension has lost these (the aeriel is bungalow height)but the main tv on a high up aeriel is still fine
