Briantist: My postcode is LU6 1RF, but we are shielded from Sandy by a local hill (there is some break through since they turned the wick up), and I have good multi-element aerials aimed at CP and Oxford which (surprisingly for CP) come in quite strongly (I had to attenuate the Oxford signal in analogue days to balance it with the CP signal).

Colin Wray: I doubt very much if the hill will stop the signal from Sandy Heath on C31 preventing your reception of C31 from Crystal Palace, in particular if you have more than one aerial.

paul galea: I think you might have the same problem as Colin Wray, in that the signal from Sandy Heath on C31 is now blocking the reception of the pre-switchover Freeview HD service.

I live at AL7 2HG and until recently have been receiving all Freeview HD channels via the Crystal Palace transmitter. Recordings for all requested Freeview HD programmes have failed over the last few weeks. We retuned both our HD TV and HD PVR today and have lost all Freeview HD programmes. Do you know why this has happened?
