MAHMOUD: At your postcode you should be able to receive BBC Four HD on COM8 from Crystal Palace on UHF channel 56 (754MHz). All UHF channels have a bandwidth of 8MHz throughout Europe.

I have never been able to get BBC4 HD or BBC news HD on my Freeview TV via aerial. I live in Winchester and connect to the Hannington transmitter. Auto-retunes do not work. Any ideas?

Eric Street: Your postcode should be able to get strong reception of all channels from Winter Hill or Moel y Parc (if you prefer Welsh channels). BBC Four is carried on the same multiplex as BBC1/2 or BBC Four HD is carried on the same multiplex as the QVC HD shopping channels. Are you missing any of those channels?

I cannot get several Freeview channels any more, including BBC 4 HD and Al Jezerea HD. I live in CR6 NE Surrey which has always received its TV signals from the Crystal Palace.

Sorry, I don't understand anything about frequency, bandwidth or COM4. My TV and the tuners in my Blu-Ray recorders, automatically tune the available channels, and these missing ones just aren't available to us any more - they are not even included on the channel guide.

I just don't understand.

Bob:

If you can't get BBC4 HD any longer then your probably have not had your aerial changed. Crystal Palace used to need a Group A type aerial but now you need a wideband type so you can get all the available channels again.

If you conytact the Freeview Helpline at Contact Support | Freeview they can offer guidance. They may even offer a free replacement of your current aerial. If you decide to have an aerial replacement by an external contractor, do not fall for the scam of a 'digital aerial', there is no such thing. It's just an excuse being used by some unscrupulous fitters to charge an higher price for a standard aerial.

Here in Swansea we can't get BBC 4HD
I had a new TV 4 months ago, a new ariel around 1 year ago, but still not able to get it.
I presume it's because we are in Wales.
