RH10 4JJ. I have a roof aerial and getting a very strong signal according both my tvs (50% signal at least and 100% quality) from Crystal Palace. My new HD pvr is not picking up any HD channels. Is there anything special I need to look at for hd non- reception?

We have a HUMAX HD PVR. We pickup all the Freeview channels but cannot get the HD ones. When we first put the box in - in March this year - we had the HD, but they have since disappeard and no amount of retuning brings them back! We are HP9 2HA and have a roof aerial. Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip Brian. Tried turning off everything in the location, amp, and even the tv during a scan. Even changed the DigitalStream pvr for a Humax. Checked all aerial cables and got signalment other channels up to between 50 and 68% with 100% quality. Still zero on channel 31.
