ronald bailey: You have got me a bit puzzled, as Hemel Hempstead isnt listed as providing an HD service until next April.
Are you sure you aren't receiving your signals from Sandy (Anglia)?

Can anyone tell me if Channel 30 is still being transmitted from Crystal Palace? This week there has been a lot of work taking place on the transmitter. I have reset and updated my Freeview box several times, but C30 just does not seem to exist. I have done an "auto update" and after that tried a manual update for C30, but I get a message "No signal". All other channels are fine. My Freeview box is a Technika (Tesco) about 1.5-2 years old. Any views would be appreciated.

Channel 30 is back now! :-) Not sure if it had anything to do with the engineering update above or just because I did yet another "cold" reset (Power off/on at the wall) on the freeview box. This seems to have worked several times before, but is probably not the healthiest thing for the electronics. Thanks again.

Briantist: OK, I accept the possibility that Sandy C31 is interfering with CP C31, but that does not account for the loss of Mux C & D. I do not have a Sandy aerial, but there is a weak signal from there on my CP aerial on C27 only. (CP and Sandy are 120 deg apart here, with Sandy masked by high ground).
I have now carried out a signal strength check on all channels 21-69, in three aerial setups: CP only, OX only, and both connected. There is absolutely no difference between these three cases. Here is the result:
C21=zero, C22=max, C24=zero, C25=max, C27=30%, C28=max, C29=zero, C31=zero, C32=max, C34=zero, C48=zero, C51=max, C52=max, C53=max, C67=zero, C68=max.
As you can see, I am missing Mux C, D, and BBCB. Can you suggest any reasons ? Many thanks.
