lan from notts: It could be a SCART cable issue. There is a pin on the SCART which is supposed to tell the TV that it should switch to the SCART signal, and you can often disable this in the set-top box's menu, but it depends on the device.

alan: You should have no problems with that. The signal covers the whole of Europe.

noel: It is all listed at the top of the page.

All multiplexes are MHz 2/3 64QAM 8k 1/32 now, with the exception of the HD multiplex BBCB, which is 256QAM 2/3 32k, but you will need a DVB-T2 device to receive that.

Annie: You shouldn't need anything other than the Freeview+HD box, it will come with an HDMI cable. All you do is unplug the aerial from your TV and put it into the Freeview+HD box and connect the Freeview+HD box to the TV with the HDMI cable.

gavin: That seems very strange, you should have no problems using the connections to the dish if they work on the Sky+ box.

Analogue and digital signal strength

Jerry Brett: You will only ever get a good service from the Sudbury transmitter, so you should move your aerial to point at that transmitter.

Loft aerials

Steve Robinson: Your aerial is probably pointing at the Belmont transmitter, where you can only get limited services until 23rd November 2011.

If you want all the channels before then, your aerial will have to be moved to point at the Waltham transmitter.

ian: The BBC channels on Freeview HD use 1080i and 1080p automatically on a GOP ("group of pictures") basis automatically depending on source content.
