I use Freview from the Crystal Palace transmitter and on HD channels I experiece the TV screen going black for a second but not when watching normal Freeview .The aerial signal strength is showing very good 95%. Has anyone experienced this and cured it?

MikeB Thank you for your reply . I have checked the signal quality and it is bouncing about a little . I am using a signal amp because I share the aerial with another TV which has HD tuner and the HD channels are okay . I will try reducing the signal strength and also try without the amp . I will post the results .

Ihave tried the Sony tv direct with the aerial and the signal strength was 85% still bouncing a little the HD channels were also blanking out as before . I have fitted a tv aerial splitter so I can supply both tv's and the signal strength is 70% the BBC HD channels are okay but ITV HD is still blanking out but not quite as much as previously I think I have exhausted all possibilities with what I have maybe I should look into a new aerial .

Dave Lindsay Thank you for your advice . It could be the Hemel Hempstead transmitter which is only four miles away . I didn't use this transmitter because it is unmanned and has been unreliable in the past . I will check the ITV HD station setting .
