I'm using a panasonic freeview + HD box (panasonic have confirmed that this should receive HD) and still can't see any HD channels . There's a full strength signal present on ch 60 but no HD programmes found (all other freeview programmes are fine). I also have a dvb T2 card in the pc and it can't find them either.

Just retuned for the umpteenth time and low & behold they have appeared. Thanks for your help . I just needed to be a bit more patient I suppose!

andy walker: I'm receiving all channels off Malvern without any problems - check that you haven't got a sky box or VCR with an RF output tuned to channel 59 (simplest way is to switch them off).

I'm glad BBC do transmit from Malvern - in my location (a few miles south of Worcester) my BBC DAB is good but Digital One is variable - especially in the car!

Hi
I have also got problems with Com7 & Com8 following the change of channels from Ridge Hill to 55 & 56. My Sony TV refuses to show any signal at all whilst my Panasonic Freeview HD recorder shows perfect signal strength & quality as does the Samsung TV in the kitchen. Since my postcode is WR8 9JJ my main TX is Malvern and I use a seperate aerial & amplifier for Ridge Hill through a diplexer (rewired to reflect the frequency changes). Prior to the channel changes I had a perfect signal on Com7 & Com8.
I was beginning to pull my hair out in trying to understand why some TVs can't pick up the signals whilst others can - I'm relieved to find I'm not alone!

Com7 com8 on channels 55 and 56 seem to be ok now. I retuned yesterday and picked up bbc 4 hd,, bbc news hd, ch4+1 hd and 4/7 hd without any problems. Suggest anyone who had issues after the channel changes tries a retune now.

Richard Sutton:
Sorry to drop in - I've just been reading your comments regarding channel 29. I think you will find that channel 29 is no longer transmitted from Ridge Hill - I suspect you are picking a signal up from the Malvern tx which has mux SDN on channel 29.
According to the Freeview channel checker Ridge Hill transmits
Ch 28 BBCA
Ch 25 D3&4
Ch 22+ BBCB
Ch 21+ SDN
Ch 24 ARQA
Ch 27 ARQB
Hope this helps

Chris.SE: Apologies- I used to watch ch 29 central west from ridge hill from my location as it was more relevant. At that time ch 29 was shown on the channel checker. I lost the signal on one of the channel switches and assumed that as it was no longer listed that it was not transmitting. Ch 29 from Malvern wipes out the Ridge hill tx at my location which is disappointing.

Chris.SE: Thanks Chris - I'm in the main reception area for Malvern (WR8), the tx being only 5 miles away and visible from my house. I have 2 aerials - the first vertically polarised for Malvern and 2nd horizontally polarised for Ridge hill with a mast amplifier. The 2 signals are then combined but ch29 is coming from both aerials so I've opted for the Malvern mux which gives better reception. Short of physically switching between the aerials there's little else I can do.
Thanks for your help

Can anyone advise if the Malvern transmitter is actually transmitting HD channels on ch 60 - neither of my my freeview HD boxes are not picking any up (they have been retuned since DSO last night).
