Would there be any reason why I cannot recive the HD channels from the Sennybridge transmitter as I have just purchased a Freeview HD TV and it only picks up the standard channels. Could it be the signal strenth? Do I need to make sure the ariel is pointing more accuratly to recive the HD channels?

Ron Maxwell: You should be able to receive the four channels on Freeview HD with no problems at all.
How is your signal strength on the other two multiplexes?
