I have a Philips Freeview Recorder with HD. It seems to think that Bilsdale is now broadcasting in HD and asks me to select SD/HD whenever I change channel. It is extremely annoying. They obviously are not broadcasting HD yet (and won't be for nerarly a year) so why can't they turn off the identifier?

I appear to be still picking up some analogue channels from Bilsdale. I am getting BBC1 Tyne Tees area and other channels. Is this possible?
