The tallest one is pointing at a right angle to ours, towards Chellaston. Our points up Burton Road towards the A38.

Update - I have spoken to BBC and they have no idea why the HD service has gone. My parents tv is also not receiving hd but I have asked them not to retune just in case they come back on some time soon. Do any of you techno boys and girls have any idea whats going on? I notice that the hd services are not listed on the sutton channel list above,how come when they have been working fine for the last 6 months. (52.4770,-1.4268)
