StevensOnln1: Hi Steven,I thought it only polite to let you know that my fault did in fact appear to be a loose aerial cable. It must have been knocked when I was plugging/unplugging electrical stuff in the socket nearby. I also did a re-tune of my tv to see if BBC4 HD would re-appear, but alas no! I know from speaking to people at work that BBC 4 HD did go missing around here fairly recently, but most folk then got it back,alas I have not been so lucky! I have not checked but are there other channels bundled in with it that have probably gone too? Do you have any suggestions for how I might get BBC4 HD back? Many thxs, G.

G. Nicol: You are predicted to have a good signal for COM8 (the multiplex carrying BBC Four HD). Does your TV have a manual tuning function? If it does, try manual tuning on UHF channel 35.
