Hi I have a new Panasonic HD recorder for a bedroom, but it is only picking up about 1/3 of the SD freeview and NO HD signal! Our TV downstairs is a HD freeview Panasonic and picks up everything well. The TV the new HD recorder is attached to can pick up all the SD freeview channels, so what's going on? I am running both from a singe aerial and have had no problems before. I even tried to tune the HD box in with the other aerial lead disconnected from the splitter. Help please!

Rob Anson: When you were first setting up / installing your new Panasonic are you sure that you selected the correct region? that being Yorkshire, as not having any HD signal is liable to indicate that you have selected Tyne Tees which is from the Bilsdale transmitter as you are indicated as being able to receive Freeview from both stations, Bilsdale presently being on low power as well as not transmitting HD until September 26th. If you still experience any difficulty then tune Emley Moor in using the "manual tuning" facility after having blanked out anything already stored by carrying out an auto-tune without the aerial being plugged in. Emley Moors channels being / 47(BBC) - 44(ITV) - 41(HD) - 51(ITV3 etc) - 52(Pick TV etc) - 48(Yesterday etc)

Thanks for that. Unfortunately the site owner hasn't had time to do all the updates resulting from the 700MHz Clearance program.
