Thanks, Andy.
Removing the combiner and feeding the Hannington aerial directly to my receiver pulls in PSB2 ONLY, albeit loud and clear. Hardly a glimmer of PSB1 or 3 despite being only a few kilometres away.
Effectively, the Hannington DSO has deprived me of BBC 1 South.
I rather suspect that the digital emissions from Hannington do not like my old aerial (which was good enough for analogue...!) I note that OFCOM DSO issue 3 shows that the Post-DSO aerial group is BH whereas the Pre-DSO aerial group was E/WH. (This contradicts the information under the signal strength map...)
I think I'll wait until after Crystal Palace DSO in case the south-easterly attenuation still exists...

Hello,
I have just bought the PCTV systems nanostick T2 290e DVB-T2 for installation onto my laptop (Windows 7 64bit), I am able to receive all freeview expected digital programme transmissions except for anything relating to HD - I presume I am just receiving standard transmission?
I had a CRT portable television before switchover hence using my laptop as a temporary measure before I buy a modern television with its internal freeview receiver; I worry for the standard definition picture quality should HD is also not picked up, or have same issue if I optain a stand-alone free-view receiver.
On the PCTV nanostick I have used the supplied PCTV software, tuned in, and also used Windows Media Centre, tuned in, but neither can offer up channel 50 (BBC HD) and other HD channels - this is connecting the aerial cable straight onto the nanostick.
I am considered in zone with the Hannington transmitter - I live between Reading and Basingstoke. Is it my aerial? I would imagine it is 20 years old or so and the reception when analogue was up and running was okay..
Any thoughts are welcomed.
Yours
Gordon.

Since switching from Crystal Palace to Hannington, scheduled programmes recorded using the EPG on my Sagem have failed to record across the channels. However I have noticed that if I go to that channel during a scheduled recording, the recording starts from that point rather than at the beginning. As I had no such problems prior to the switchover from CP, I am sure it its not my PVR but possibly a lack of receiving a signal via the transmitter allowing the programme to record from the start. If anyone can help it would be appreciated so I can stay on Hannington rather than reverting to the CP transmitter.

Paul P: Many boxes get confused if they have services stored from more than one transmitter. The solution seems to be to ensure that you only have services from one.
To do this, you completely clear out the channel lists ("first time installation" is recommended), then just tune in the transmitter you want - use manual search, and use the frequencies at the top of this page.
If you're in the north-east to south-east sector, e.g. in east Berkshire or north Hampshire, you may find that you can't yet get the commercial multiplexes from Hannington. In that case, you should tune back to Crystal Palace.

Thanks for your help Mike. I re started the box as factory default settings and this cured the problem and cleared out it's confusion. EPG now working fine.

I have two freeview receivers (one embedded in a Daewoo DLT20W TV and the other stand alone unit recently purchased), and neither will pick up the BBC red button and digital teletex service. The Daewoo used to work fine before the switchover, but even though I have run the initial installation option, and tried autotune without the RF connection to reset the channel list prior to a full autotune, I still do not have this service. Teletext on the Daewoo with other services like ITV1 works OK, it's just the BBC service, but there are no text services at all on the stand alone freeview box.
Any advice would be greatfully received.
Paul

jb38: There is another "Trading Standards" situation with some TVs with Brand names most have never heard of. These are sneakily marketed as HD TV's by containing the relevant decoders (cheap); but not displays with the capability (expensive) to match. In other words: Yes, they can show HD pictures - but only in Standard Resolution and sometimes worse than that.
Not so very important with small-screen TVs, but not exactly a big-screen bargain!
