ian hayes: all aerials are HD compatible. The problem is that it is indoors. Indoor aerials are not very good, generally, and you lose a lot of signal because there isn't a clear line of sight to the transmitter, through both internal and external walls and neighbouring buildings.
Right now, the HD signals are broadcast at half the power of the other multiplexes - they need about the same power as multiplex 2 (e.g. ITV1) and A (e.g. ITV3) to work reliably.
You really need a roof aerial for reliable reception. If you did have one, you'd be expected to get reliable HD service now, and after switchover next year.

kieran r: Fine here, but I'm on the other side of the transmitter. Still, it's much more likely that you have a break in a cable, something hit your aerial, or an amplifier has stopped working.
Is it more snowy than usual, or have you only lost colour? If the latter, it's more likely to be a transmitter fault. If it's snowy as well, more likely it's at your end.
The BBC reckon you're more likely to be using the Sudbury transmitter.

I've just lost freeview hd from crystal palace. No signal at all this weekend. Tried rebooting and factory reset of humax u2 GDR box but no joy. Signal on ch31 when tuning shows 0.
Any ideas?
