My HDTV with Freeview HD tuner which used to receive the BBC HD, ITV HD etc... channels fine until two or three weeks ago cannot see the Freeview HD channels anymore after a full rescan.
I wondered whether it was a transmitter issue or possibly a reception issue (e.g. antenna, especially if channel is lower power/less resilient with 256QAM)
