I'm within 6 miles of the Sutton Coldfield transmitter, using a good loft aerial. My Sony TV shows 100% signal strength and 100% quality for standard definition channels, but 100% signal strength and between 0% and 8% signal quality for high definition channels. Why is this the case? What do I do to fix it?

MikeB: Thanks for your help. Not the answer I was expecting! I can't find your cheap 20dB aerial attenuator on Amazon, so I'll dash out for a 12dB one from my nearest Maplin (£6.49) and hope that's enough.

Thanks again!

MikeB: That's ridiculously cheap, especially as it says postage is free! Makes me wonder about the quality, but the two reviews (and you) say it works so I'll order one (or two).

I'll use it in the loft where the aerial is plugged into the down lead. Thanks again! I'll report back on what happens.
