Bromsgrove (Worcestershire, England) Full Freeview transmitterSunday 7 August 2011 4:32PM

Thanks Briantist. When I bought this TV set I was told that I wouldn't need another box and that it would automatically tune to all available HD channels as it was "Full HD" rather than just "HD ready". The manufacturer's brochure also claimed that as well, so I'm very confused... I suppose I'll just have to get another one that does what it's supposed to. What should I ask for to make sure it will get HD?

I live in Droitwich and for the last few days my YouView box has been unable to receive the Freeview HD channels from the Bromsgrove transmitter. Does anybody know what might be causing this? I have already tested this on a completely separate aerial and just get a patchy occasional signal using that. It seems as if the transmitter is running on reduced power.
Any help/sugeestions greatly appreciated. Tnx

jb38 many, many thanks for your very detailed reply which is greatly appreciated.
My HD reception seems to have returned to normal now so I'll keep your advice on file for future reference.
I noticed that my YouView box was running quite hot last night so it may be an intermittent fault developing with that. The HD channel signal readings yesterday were c. 48% for strength and c. 54% for quality but now, although the strength is still only about 50% the quality reading has reverted to 100% which is fine enough for my gear to work properly!
My normal aerial is located in the loft with an 8 way powered booster distributing signals to various rooms. This arrangement was often a bit "iffy" before switchover but I've had no signal problems at all since then (until this week). My reserve aerial (without booster) is on the chimney and is aligned to the Sutton signal.
Cheers for now,
Wal

jb38 thanks.
My YouView box continues to work fine on all channels so I think it was just a blip.
The model is a Huawei/TalkTalk unit with hardware version DN370T.02.03.P
I only caried out a full rescan on the Bromsgrove arial but to no effect.
Cheers,
Wal

My Matsui M22DVDB19 TV no longer holds its BBC channels. Sometimes the picture freezes, sometimes goes blank or has a large green block on the lower half of the screen. All other channels work perfectly so I'm thinking this might be a transmitter fault.
I receive signals from the Bromsgrove tx. Any thoughts? Thanks

I live in Droitwich and my aerial receives all freeview channels except the HD ones. My TV set is a Toshiba 32BV700B 32 Inch Full HD 1080p Digital LCD TV but it simply will not pick up the HD. Any suggestions?
