Dave Lindsay: Thanks for the response Dave, it was on ch50 but now after a reset scan I have no signal on ch43 or ch50! I have tried to manual retune on 43 but no signal. What you suggested I did unplug at about ch 40 but the scan just froze. Sorry to seem a bit hopeless, I really appreciate your help

Bill Morrison: Gartley Moor has had Freeview HD since 15th September 2010.

The DAB network general uses different masts to the TV network, see Map of all DAB transmitters | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice . There is an ongoing commitment to match FM coverage with DAB in the next few years.

Yaz: Try unplugging just after C46 which is the highest channel from Bilsdale. Perhaps it may appear frozen but give it a while. Go away and make a cup of tea.

See which the TV is tuned to. View the signal strength screen whilst tuned to one service from each multiplex:

PSB1 - BBC One | B=C26 | PP=C58
PSB2 - ITV | B=C29 | PP=C54
PSB3 - BBC One HD | B=C23 | PP=C49
COM4 - ITV3 | B=C43 | PP=C50
COM5 - Pick TV | B=C46 | PP=C59
COM6 - Film4 | B=C40 | PP=C55

B=Bilsdale; PP=Pontop Pike

How do the strengths compare on the channels? When you do a manual tune on C43 but do not press the button to scan the channel, does it give an indication of strength and quality and if so, what is it? You will have to give it five or ten seconds to settle.

If you haven't had your aerial replaced from the days of four channel analogue then perhaps you could do with it doing. The analogue channels from Bilsdale were in the first third of the band of frequencies used for TV (Group A). PSB channels are in Group A but COM channels are in the middle third, Group B, so your aerial may be less sensitive to 'hearing' them (if it's a Group A one).

Bill Morrison: Evidently they are not tuned in then, or at least the HD services are not on their proper logical channel numbers.

Try and manual scan on UHF channel 54. If there is an option for mode with respect to the manual scan make sure it is set to DVB-T2 (high-definition signal type) rather than DVB-T (standard definition signal type).

A TV which is labelled as "HD Ready" does not have a DVB-T2 tuner in-built and will therefore require a separate receiver to show HD pictures off the air.

Hi thanks to Briantist and Dave Lindsay. One tv 6 year old ( probably only hd ready) the other 6months is only hd ready.
Will check 6 year old one as per Dave's answer. Thanks.

Bill Morrison: That's probably so as the DVB-T2 standard was not ratified at that time:
