Stephen,looking at your street on Google street view,all the aerials seem to be pointing north ,the opposite direction to the dishes,which would be south east.
If they 'are' all looking at there must be a reason for that.
Do a and check the RF numbers against the Sutton Coldfield listings.
They are 41/44/47/51/52/55 I think :)

Geoff,are you sure your new TV can get HD,what make/model number is it,a lot of people are buying sets do not have a dvb-t2 tuner ''HD'' inside,not saying yours is,but there is a chance.

Also HD is not transmitted from Sutton,at the moment,its from a site at Hints nr ,and its low ,and the main beam is directed towards Birmingham,and not any other direction.

will be transmitted from ,from digital switch over,on 21/9/11 and there will be a very large power increase,at that time.

Graham,I understand that the radiation pattern of the HD is to the south,for Birmingham,not north where you are.
Your is looking at ,but the HD transmission is from nr ,some thirteen degrees away from where your aerial is pointing.

It would seem that you have a hi- ,this would tend to limit the capture of ,to a very narrow area, in degrees and miss the HD signal.

I am sure it will be fine,come digital switch over,when the HD moves to Sutton Coldfield on high power.

Take a look at the enclosed,it refers to '''' but gives the location of the Sutton and Lichfield transmitter sites.with reference to your location,notice the thirteen degree difference.

Your HD is not coming from ,at the moment,its from Hints near ,and is on very low power 4KW and directional.

Come digital switch over,ref Sutton Coldfield,in September this year,the HD service will move to the Sutton ,and the power will go up to 200KW.
