After some investigation in the loft, I found that water had got into the aerial cable, then run into the splitter and damaged it. So the transmitter (and squirrel) were blameless.
At least I've got plenty of space on the PVR disk now; who needs 200 crime dramas anyway?

We have lost all HD channels from Hannington today. Signal strength showing nothing on two separate TVs. We are in Fleet, Hants and have never seen so much as a glitch until now. Odd.

Terry Jones: If both your TV's have gone, that points to a problem with the aerial system. Could be a loose connection, etc, and therefore you've got to check to pinpoint the fault.

MikeB: Just checked our YouView box and that is receiving HD channels perfectly - it reports 100% signal quality, 70% strength. Everything runs off the same aerial via a mast-top amplifier/distributor. Both TVs are Samsung, off to check if they pushed out an OTA update last night....

Terry Jones: No Freeview at all on any set today, so assume either masthead amp has gone or something with the aerial.

Terry Jones: For the record, my masthead amplifier was failing although both it and the PSU appeared OK (LED's lit on both) - oddly the HD channels went first followed by the rest. For diagnosis I took the amp out of the equation and joined the aerial directly to the feed to one set which then picked up all the channels. I installed a new unit and PSU today and all sets are now back to normal. Thanks for the replies!

One media box in the house isn't receiving any HD channels from the COM7 mux on Hannington. All other TV's receive them fine. I can see the exact frequencies it's trying to tune to, but I need a breakdown of what the channel mux/frequencies should be on COM7 to compare. Can anyone help?

Appreciate the reply Dave. That information gives channel numbers, not frequencies. For example. BBC4 HD has a channel number of 106, and on my media center (the box having the problem), it has selected 561.833Mhz (quality 33%) as the 'best'. It has alternatives of 562Mhz (but shows 0% quality on that), and 562.167Mhz, also with 0% quality). When I select the channel, I can see it trying to lock on, and there is something there (briefly), but then I just get a 'weak or no signal' message. As I said, all other channels/muxes are rock solid.
For the HD channels I'm interested in on COM7, this is what I see;
BBC News HD (C 107) 561.833Mhz
C4 + 1 HD (C 110) 561.833Mhz
4Seven HD (C 111) 561.833Mhz
I do have locator info for each channel as well if this is of use.
Other working HD channels on different muxes seem to lock onto the other side of the frequency, for example BBC 1 HD locks onto 618.167Mhz, and the picture is fine. I've tried manually changing the frequencies (media center allows that), but it didn't make any difference - infact, there was no signal at all reported there.
I had an engineer in earlier in the week to resolve a different problem, and he verified signals received from all muxes (via the masthead amp) are good (about 65db or up), and gave the aerial/amp a clean bill of health (once we'd replaced the PSU, which had bust).
