I live at AL7 2HG and until recently have been receiving all Freeview HD channels via the Crystal Palace transmitter. Recordings for all requested Freeview HD programmes have failed over the last few weeks. We retuned both our HD TV and HD PVR today and have lost all Freeview HD programmes. Do you know why this has happened?

Following yesterday's post, I can confirm that we retuned Humax HD PVR today and have been able to find all 4 HD channels on C31, frequency 554000 (via CP) but these now appears as 800, 801, 802 and 803 not 50, 51, 52 and 53 as previously. The maximum signal strenth is 26% and quality 0%. So, while the Humax box can detect the programmes, we are still unable to view them. This is a big let down as we were happily watching brilliant HD transmissions up until 3 weeks ago.

Jim F: Thanks for your feed back. I think you're right as I set the network search to 'On' and that's when we got the new HD programme settings. Unfortunately they have all disappeared again, so having paid for a Freeview HD top set box it looks as if we're not going to be able to use the elements we bought it for until the Crystal Palace DSO in April 2012. Just when all the good HD winter viewing comes onstream. Still the upside is we will be ready when DSO comes but no doubt the top set boxes will be a lot cheaper by then. The power of advertising!
