jb28 - thanks for the reply and ideas. I now need to wait until next Sunday 24th when I next visit. I'll reply once I've tried a few of the tuning ideas.
Thanks again.

An update to the Icklesham (near Winchelsea) situation. Sunday I updated the auto tunining. Still no Freeview HD channels (from Heathfield). I manually searched Channels 22 and 47 both returned no channels, Signal Quality 0, Signal Strength 60%.
I then checked external aerial position, and noted is was NOT pointing towards Heathfield @ 280 degrees, but was ~ 100 degrees to what I believe is Dover direction. I walked to the street and noted 30-40 houses all pointed same Dover direction. 2-3 houses only where pointed towards Heathfield or maybe Hastings. It seems therefore the histotical best analogue reception was Dover direction for this area.
Given the poor wind and rain wether yesterday, I decided to leave the aerial as is for the moment. But will wait and see what happens after the 27th June when a) Heathfield I believe goes to full power and b) if this are is cabable and is actually recieving digital signals from Kent based relays, wait and see also what occurs after the same 27th update when Kent has Freeview HD available.
My next investigation however will not be until the week 8th-15th July.
Thanks,

I re-tuned my mother-in-laws TV for updates only on the 16th, but note I do not have any Free view HD channels as yet. The re-tune as an update fixed BBC1 & BBC 2 lost on the 13th.
Is Freeview HD now working is East-Sussex (Hasting) after the predicted 13th June HD delivery?
Or do I need to make a full re-tune, and/or considr aerial direction?
The TV is a Panasonic TX-L32E30B, and DVB-T2 capable.
Thanks,
