paul denning: Cables that are damaged, etc dont always just show up the strongest signal.
Almost certainly your system has a fault, and its just a process of working out where.

I live in the Bs3 1SL area of southville, Bristol...Not too sure of my transmitter details, but all of a sudden i can no longer accept Freeview HD channels (whereas i've had no previous problems?) I've tried re-tuning both boxes and taken the fitted TV,DAB, and Satellite walled box apart to see if any problems? I receive SD but no HD :( ...any help?

SEEDARIPPER: Would that be Littlecross House? Your likely to be on a communal antenna system if thats the case. You should check if your neighbours have the same problem. If so then it will be a fault in the communal system and will need the building management to deal with it.
