Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) mast?

Freeview HD channels have disappeared from EPG completely.
I have completed your reset procedure every day for the last 2 weeks to no avail. This did happen once before during engineering works on the crystal palace antenna and the reset process sorted the problem out.
Am not happy watching the entire 6nations with no hd... Why does this keep happening? A little bird tells me a subscription fee to he is coming... If this is the case then the misrepresentation clause from the sale of goods act will almost certainly apply. 'freeview HDTV' with no free hd tv to view .... Get out of that one! :p

Rick: You are lucky to have had ANY HD so far. HD is presently transmitted with only 10kW - the power of 3 fan heaters, so reception is severely affected by all adverse weather/atmospheric conditions, interference, engineering works & bad luck.
Basically, your reception is on the edge and will stay that way through the retune 4th April until 22nd April, when transmitter power goes up to 200kW (including the HD MUX). This should solve all your problems without any subscription fee......
