Hi,
I live in Woking and our aerial points towards Crystal Palace. We have just bought a Humax HDR-FOX T2 (which is proving to be a good puchase), but the auto tune hasn't picked up any HD channels. Is this due to low power (and if so do we need to buy a different aerial?). We get most Muxes fine although Film4 is occasionally not available/breaks up. Will we have to wait until 2012 for HD service?

Thanks,
Mark

At the moment we're getting all the muxes no problem. Have tried scanning again tonight for new channels (with the Humax set to DVB-T2) but nothing found still. Dare I say this is likely a problem with the Humax box/tuner itself then...? i.e. if I can get all teh normal SD muxes without issue, should I be able to get the HD channels without issue?

Ah maybe that's the issue. We have to have our aerial in the loft. Although like I say, we have no issues getting all the SD channels at the moment. Is there any reason why we wouldn't be able to pick up HD with the aerial in the loft, even though the SD channels are fine? e.g. is HD transmitted at lower power or is this an interferrance thing?

Did a manual scan on Channel 31, but no HD channels picked up.

Will this change when Crystal Palace switches over to digital-only broadcasts? Guessing there's not enough power to receive the weak HD signal at the moment?
