All the HD Channels have gone off, nothing reported.
I am on the Chesterfield transmitter, was all working OK before I went on holiday.
I have carried out a retune, consequently Channels 50 51 52 53 are now missing.

Greg: There are no problems shown on the BBC status report with regard to any of the transmitters serving your area. Check that your aerial is still mounted correctly (rods vertical) and pointing North, I say this because C29 which carries the HD services from Chesterfield is also used at Waltham for the SDN mux. The Chesterfield signal is normally strong enough to drown out the Waltham signal, but in the event of the aerial being out of alignment the signals could simply cancel each other out. What is the signal strength like on the standard definition muxes? If you have any amplification on the aerial it is possible for too much signal to be the problem, as the HD mux is transmitted at double the power used on the other muxes to give Chesterfield a helping hand when competing with a signal from Waltham. Try a manual tune on C29, selecting DVB-T2 if asked to make a choice.

Thanks for reply.
Signal strength on other muxes is 92, but C29 shows nothing. Before I went on holiday everything was working OK and the aerial has not moved. The amplifier on my distribution unit is turned to zero. Prior to Digital switchover this was turned to full.
I'll wait a few days, could turn aerial horizontal and change to Emley Moor, but it was working better (before switchover) on the Dronfield (Chesterfield) Transmitter.
Thanks for confirming no fault at transmitter.

OK - Today the HD Channels have come back. Signal strength is 91 but the quality is only 40 - 50. This is the problem, when the signal quality drops below about 30, then I lose the signal. What I don't understand is that the HD Channels are broadcast at twice the power of the other muxes. The other muxes are all strength 92 or more and quality 100.
Any ideas?
Thanks
