I have just bought a Humax HDR Fox T2. I decided to tune it in manually as described on Digitaluk. All was fine up to Channel 29 (HD) when it said no channels found. Looking at my channel list all was there but the HD channels. I reset the box and did an auto search and the HD channels appeared. What is going on? Are these HD channels from Stockland Hill?

David Meadows: Digital UK Tradeview coverage predictor and Ofcom info says it is C29.
If you have a booster? If so, try removing it.

David Meadows: The Humax HDRFOXT2 manual tuning menu has an entry for "Transmission", which you have to change to DVB-T2 to be able to decode the HD programmes. The standard definition programmes use the DVB-T setting.

Thanks for the comments. The problem was not changing to the DVB-T2 standard when searching for channel 29. Once I did that all was well. I cleared all the stored programs and retuned manually to avoid the other transmitters. I don't know where the HD channels that had automatically tuned in were coming from. They were a very weak signal, I think the menu said channel 64. Mendip is just over the hill,but I could never get an analogue signal from it. Thanks David

Dear Sir, When the whole country is eventually using the digital signal-will the Stockland Transmitter signal be increased in power?, or is it at its maximum already.
With Thanks, Tony Wilkinson.

Tony Wilkinson: Digital UK show the power for Stockland Hill currently to be 50kW on the PSB muxes and 25kW which is the full amount planned, despite documentation suggesting that the COM muxes would use 10kW until switchover at Crystal Palace.. It does however show a power increase for the COM muxes on 18th April 2012! The COM muxes at Rowridge commence high power working on the same frequencies as Stockland Hill on the same date.

Tony Wilkinson: I found the trade newsletter published by Digital UK at the time of swithcover in 2009:
http://www.digitaluk.co.u….pdf
This says that the Public Service Broadcaster (PSB) multiplexes (BBC, ITV1, ITV2, C4, E4, More4, C5, HD services and a few others) are on their final full power of 50kW. This assumes that it is not on temporary low power now.
However, the commercial multiplexes (COMs) that carry ITV3, Pick TV, Dave, Yesterday and others are at 10kW until sometime this year and this is to protect services in France. Their final power will be lower than that of the PSBs at 25kW, so there will be some on the outer of the coverage area that will get the PSBs, but won't get the COMs. Some might be able to upgrade to a bigger (more sensitive) aerial so as it receive the COMs at 25kW.

Hi There! I'm in postcode EX4 4BH and we can only get signal from St Thomas transmitter, theres no way around that unfortunately, however if the power increases on Stockland Hill then will the other freeview channels become available on St Thomas? Also the ITV1HD I recieve is the London one and not Meridian Southampton, is there any way to ask for this to be changed? Many thanks
