MickDawn: Yes, this is well known, see TVs and boxes that do not support the 8k-mode | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - you now need to use a Freeview set-top box.

Ken: Digital UK also say you get Freeview Light from 20th July 2011, but you have to wait for the 27 June 2012 to get the full service.

Oz: I would give My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice a try.

pauline: It is possible that the dish has become misaligned from the satellites. You will probably need an engineer (with a satellite signal meter) to fix it.

steve, bedworth: It's a problem with the V+ box, I would contact Virgin directly about this.
| link to this comment |
Peter: Yes, you do appear to be on the fringe of reliable Freeview HD reception until switchover.
| link to this comment |
Nigel Moreton: It could be that your set does not support the HDCP encryption system, but you normally can see the SD channels and system menus, just not the actual HD content.
I would check in the Freeview HD box's settings that you do have the HDMI output enabled.

Ian MacRae: Does this only happen on HD channels, or on all channels using HDMI?

Kevin Reader: To be honest, I would suggest you spend your money on getting Freesat.
You will get a signal from Sudbury (or Rouncefall) on 6th/20th July 2011, but only Freeview Light. From
27th Jun 2012 you will also get the SDN multiplex from Sudbury.
I would think you would be wasting money trying Freeview and go straight for Freesat, see Compare Freeview Light and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for the channel details.

Jurate: Your TV Licence doesn't pay for your reception equipment. I would expect your dish is no longer correctly aligned.

Linda Hannah: I would check Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for suggestions.

Kelvin: Are you using a rooftop aerial? If so, you should get all services from Sutton Coldfield from 21st September 2011, but nothing much before then.
If you use the Waltham transmitter you should have all services today.
| link to this comment |
Tom Cromack: Your signal is probably overloading.
If you have an amplifier or booster, remove it from your system.
If you have still too much signal, fit an attenuator, they cost about a fiver.

Keith: Please see Upgrading from Sky+HD to Freesat+HD | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

S: Yes, that sounds about right. You should use a rooftop aerial for reliable Freeview reception.

m.hoare: Please see Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help.

Scott: You can use Rosneath VP and Black Hill today and Glasgow West Central - plus Darvel from next year.
You would probably get the best from your system if you split the signal from the rooftop aerial, you are in a strong reception are from Black Hill.

Ian MacRae: I would have thought it might be time to try a different brand of Freeview HD box.
| link to this comment |
J Duke: Yes, you should always fully clear the channel list to reset a Freeview box if you have problems, like My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
The same is true for Media Centre, but you can just do a "clear channels" in the scan menu.
| link to this comment |
Nicci: From your description it sounds like the "remote sensor" on the box has stopped working.
I would check that nothing is blocking it - if you can spot where it is.
If there is nothing stuck to it, then you will probably need a new Freeview box.

catherine: Do you know the cause of the power cut?
One possible answer is that you have an amplifier or booster that is mains powered and you have not managed to restore power to it.

Peter Henderson: The "Freesat" listings are for Freesat in Freesat mode. BBC (Radio) London is on the general Freesat EPG listing.

leslie: Not from the Brierley Hill transmitter until 21st September 2011, but you can from The Wrekin, Lichfield, Bromsgrove and Lark Stoke today.

Scott: There is a "COM late power-up" listed for Darvel for 2012 by Digital UK for your location.
| link to this comment |
ARCHIE: Thanks for that. All equipment that can decode MPEG4 should be able to do DVB-T2.
| link to this comment |
Nigel Moreton: OK, out of interest, what's your full postcode? I'm wondering if you are actually in a Freeview HD covered area.
| link to this comment |
Kevin Reader: You can always watch Yesterday here - TVCatchup - Never Miss A Show Again .
You, and indeed almost everyone, will get the three public service multiplexes, but I would think that spending money trying to get the multiplexes with marginal reception could be money poorly spent.
| link to this comment |
Nigel Moreton: And yes, you do receive Freeview HD.
What's the model number of the TV?
| link to this comment |
Mark A.: You can't "enter a postcode" with Freesat from Sky, that is the option you get with Freesat.
| link to this comment |
NottsUK: The symbol rate depends on the "width" of the transponder. The larger the frequency difference between adjacent transponders, the more carriers you can squeeze in.
| link to this comment |
Simon Richards: Yes, having Freesat will not effect your Freeview equipment in the slightest.
Use Freesat+HD if you want to record/pause/play from Freesat.

Peter Henderson: Yes, if you use a viewing card then that determines the TV regions you get on 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105. I'm not sure if there are any changes to the radio section at all, however.
| link to this comment |
Peter Henderson: The official Freesat data says that the radio stations (including the RTE ones) are provided to everyone. Only 101, 102, 103, 104 have regional versions on Freesat, as there is only 105 on Astra 2D.

David: First, check your box or TV are not on the "no longer works" list - TVs and boxes that do not support the 8k-mode | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
Second, if it's OK, then do a "first time installation" or My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
Third, if you have a booster or amplifier, remove it from your system.
| link to this comment |
NottsUK: The BBC is using the appropriate parameters to make the best use of the available bandwidth, to provide the highest bitrate.
I'm not sure why "add channels" is something you would want to do as BBC HD and BBC One HD are in the Sky EPG?
| link to this comment |
Bob Overy: It's probably a issue with the BT Vision EPG. Can you do a "full time reset" on the box.

Tareq: Yes. ITV1 HD is free to air. Can you try the three methods listed on the What can I do when my Sky Digibox says 'No Signal' or 'Technical fault'? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page?
| link to this comment |
Peter Henderson: I understand that as no one complained about it being taken off DAB, the BBC did not feel the need to extend the trial.
I agree it is a bit of an anomoly.
| link to this comment |
John: It is already planned to move it to another frequency, there will be a "third stage" of switchover for any transmitter using C61 and C62.
| link to this comment |
Peter Challis: SD transmissions will not be moved to DVB-S2 as there are 10 millions SD receivers in use that do not support it.
However, all official HD receivers support DVB-S2.
| link to this comment |
John: 2G and 3G frequencies are too far from the TV frequencies to cause problems (unlike, say TETRA). Even if you are one of those people with problems, you will be provided with a "filter" at no cost.
| link to this comment |
Paul: The problem seems to be a software one, that should be fixable via and update. The question is probably how quickly Panasonic can provide one and deliver it via the "over the satellite" software update channel.
| link to this comment |
David: In theory Panasonic can provide a very simple update to accept the 23.0 parameter. I would imagine that such a simple fix can be sorted out very quickly.

| link to this comment |
Heather Railton: Have you checked everything at the top of the page? Also, can you provide you full postcode please?
| link to this comment |
Alan: It is more likely that your dish is not 100% aligned with the satellite, you should check that first as a new LNB won't help if the alignment is off.

George Buchanan: It's hardly new, DVB-S2 was ratified as a standard in March 2005!

Jason: The frequencies used for the commercial multiplexes cannot be taken to full power until the same frequencies are cleared in neighbouring regions.
| link to this comment |
Peter: You should have your system checked, a rooftop aerial will deliver all six multiplexes at 100% quality today.

James: See Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice please.

Rob: You need to use a ROOFTOP aerial for reliable Freeview reception, you will get all six multiplexes from Sandy Heath with 100% reliability.

Ian: "If you only use a device that s powered solely by its own internal batteries, you will be covered by your parents TV Licence." - TV Licensing - FAQ - not a car battery.
| link to this comment |
nickwilcock: Yes, they are (when someone gets around to manufacuting them) lossless.
They are fitted at any point between the aerial and receiver. If you have a booster, they are fitted before the booster.
The COFDM error correction can't deal with a signal overload, as per the article.
| link to this comment |
Steve R: ITV1+1 is only provided for the "advertising regions", not for the "news regions". So, Anglia gets Meridian South for ITV1+1. Wales, gets ITV West on ITV1+1.
| link to this comment |
Peter: The only person who is "accountable" for your reception is YOU. Please consult a profession installer if you can't fix the problem yourself.
| link to this comment |
Cara: Have you tried "Method 2"?
I could be that your dish has become slightly misaligned, if the problem effects more than one receiver.
| link to this comment |
Mal Deay: No. If you want another receiver, get a FreeSAT box and attach it directly to one of the spare outputs of your dish's quad LNB.
| link to this comment |
Phil B: No, that's not even vaguely possible. Can you provide a full postcode please?
| link to this comment |
Nick: I was referring to the controls for the TV set. You will have to consult the manual.

i spurdens: That's not very much to go on. What sort of TV, what's your postcode, are you using Freeview?

drew: I'm not sure there are any TV sets that can do this, but the Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat device provides this facility.
| link to this comment |
Dave Wood: I'm a bit confused. The card must be recognised by Windows if you can see the channels on the BBCA multiplex, surely?
| link to this comment |
mike: After switchover in September you will be able to get signals from Sutton Coldfield, Bromsgrove and Lark Stoke, but only Sutton Coldfield is predicted to provide you with the full six multiplex at the moment.
| link to this comment |
Rob: If you TV is connected to a dish then then no signal whatsoever comes from a terrestrial transmitter, but from a satellite over Africa.
As I said, you need a ROOFTOP aerial for Freeview reception, and if you are "waving" your aerial around, you clearly don't have one.

| link to this comment |
Tareq: You don't need a viewing card to watch ITV1 HD, the channel is free-to-air.
One idea might be to change the LNB output your box is using, as you will have a spare one on the quad LNB package.
| link to this comment |
Nigel Moreton: I've been looking at Bush LCD27TV005 - Specifications and would appear that the set is not "HD Ready", so you can only use the higher resolution with a computer output.
| link to this comment |
Anelle: No. Sky never, ever does that. The dish and box are provided for "free" when a subscription starts and is 100% the property of the subscriber.

shannow5858: If you have a dish, the signal is coming from the Astra 2 satellites.

MCMLXII: 11B, 11C and 11D are part of the old VHF TV channel 11, and 12A, 12B, 12C and 12D the old VHF TV channel 12.
11B is 218.64MHz, 11C is 220.352MHz ... 12D is 229.072MHz.
Analogue radio is 89-108MHz.
UHF analogue and digital TV starts at 474.0MHz for C21.

ian orpen: Yes, the TopUp PVR should do it, but I see from their website they are no longer provide them...
| link to this comment |
Kath: Reliable Freeview reception requires a rooftop aerial, if you don't have one you will not receive a stable service.
You should have retuned on Wednesday 1st June 2011 and again on 15th June 2011.
You must do a "first time installation" or a "factory reset" on each date.

Edwina Waters: You have enabled "audio description". Go into the set-up menu, and select Audio and turn it back to "English" (rather than "Audio Described").
Depending on the remote, there could be a button you can press there.

David S.H.: You should already have a good signal for Multiplex D, but only if you installed a wideband aerial.
If you didn't, then yes, you will have to wait another two weeks.

Doug Balmer: Yes, I think that Panasonic are the only box makers that provide that particular configuration.

Chris: If everything has failed then either your aerial has failed, or perhaps you have a powered booster/splitter somewhere that has blown a fuse.

mark: You might want to consider moving the aerial to the roof, as loft mounted aerials are unreliable for Freeview reception.

To access the DVD recorder, put the V+ box into standby mode.

S Wyatt: The satellites are in orbit over Africa, and provide the same level of signal all over the UK.
There must be a clear line-of-sight between the dish and the satellite for reception.

Richard: Not all equipment has the same level of sensitivity to signals. If your signal level is "just acceptable" (or "very high") on box will work OK, the other won't.

If you want to buy a card, get it direct from Sky on 08442 411 602.

John Horrabin: When there is a local commercial multiplex for it to go on. When that actually will be is a good question.

Chris Heard: I'm not planning on using any terrain information for the DAB transmitters, as the signals do travel over the horizon more than is useful for television.
Most of the restrictions are due to the nature of SFN, as each area should only be served by one transmitter. When a new DAB transmitter is introduced, restrictions are placed on one or more of the rest to compensate.
I will post Redruth up next time I do an update.
