Thanks for the feedback, my current Aerial I believe is picking up crystal palace however I do not get any of the. Hd channels but all the others are good strong signals with no interference may be my intergrated freeview set is just to old in the chipset! But to be honest when we put the Aerial up we just pointed in the general direction of other Aerials so perhaps I should grab a compass and check it out?

Bear: The coverage checker shows Crystal Palace to be the best transmitter at your location. If you don't have any HD channels on 101-115 then your TV does not have the correct tuner required for HD channels on Freeview (if your TV had a HD Ready or Full HD logo that just indicates the it can display a HD picture via a HDMI input). You would need a TV or set top box/PVR with the Freeview HD logo to receive HD channels.

Transmitter engineering: I am very close to the Reigate transmitter and have no BBC normal channels and no HD channels at all for the last few days. I have retuned, and factory reset my Youview box multiple times and had my arial installer out today to check that it had not lost position. Any ideas?

David McDaniel:
Please can you tell us your full post code so we can check the predicted reception conditions for your location?
There are no reported engineering works at present on the Reigate transmitter so the problem has to be within your property, either a poor aerial connection or else a fault in the equipment.
By retuning your equipment has lost all of the previously saved tuning data, so it is always a bad idea to do a retune when 'No Signal' is reported. When you do get signals, what are the signal strengths shown as?
