Mux 2 and Mux A on the Crystal Palace transmitter are showing as low power today- when will this go back to the same level of power as the others on this transmitter?

Chris McManus: Mux 2 and Mux A have been in this state since 2003, this the normal mode of operation until switchover. See Two frequency interference

Scott: Just to check, you have bought a Freeview HD set, and not just an HDTV with Freeview - see What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
Otherwise, you should have perfect Freeview HD reception, see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help.

Hello
We received our new Panasonic TV on 19th July- tuned it in as directed - got all freeview channels including HD channels. On 26th - all HD channels were no longer available. Is there a problem with the transmitter? Our post code is DA16 1HQ
Thanks
Maggie

Maggie Pywell: The HD service from Crystal Palace was indeed off the air for two short periods on the date you mention, and so "if" by any chance you carried out a re-scan (many do!) after they went off you will require to carry out another re-scan to regain them, as no fault indications are shown for today, as yet anyway!

Also in W3 and have the same problem as Michael O'Connor.
Only got HD TV two days ago so don't know if this is a new problem.
Rooftop aerial is checked regularly.
