Dave Lindsay and MikeB:
My set-up has been working flawlessly since switchover well over a year ago, until a couple of weeks ago. So doesn't this (together with similar complaints from nearby) suggest a transmitter problem?
Any idea which firm or authority is responsible for the local transmitters, so as to contact them?

Thanks for your advice, Dave.
Have been in touch with at800 and they say they haven't been running the test for a few weeks now, and anyway Peacehaven is not a problem area - they say.
Perhaps I should try an attentuator? But as the problem is a sudden Bit error surge, with scrambled or loss of image/signal lasting for a few seconds, followed by normal resumption of signal and picture - perhaps an attenuator is not the answer?

Hello,
Postcode BN10 8LR and TV outdoor aerial directed at Whitehawk Hill transmitter.
Just discovered that I have lost all Freeview HD signals to my Samsung Smart TV.
Signal strength is about 92 and have reset the TV to factory defaults and rescanned. I still get 128 Freeeview channels incl radio - all very good reception, but simply can't get the HD channels back.
For three years now I have received BBC and ITV HD with full clarity - now they've disappeared overnight! But everything else is coming in perfectly, as before..
Is there a problem withe Whitehawk transmitter, as far as you know? Thanks for any help

Thanks for your response Jamie,
So, just to confirm, you think it might well be a fault with the HD tuner in the TV?

Just to update - have found the HD channels as you said, in the 800's, but in no logical sequence. Will stay tuned in to see what happens :(

Peacehaven
Hello,
Have used 37" Samsung Smart TV since March 2012 with perfect reception. (Location Peacehaven, using Whitehawk transmitter)
Have recently started to experience sudden Bit error surges from 0 to 2000 resulting in temporary blocking/freezing/loss of signal, this is especially on the HD channels.
Signal strength is consistently between 85 to 90 on HD and better on normal channels. Aerial and cabling all new (double shielded cable).
I haven't installed any new electrical equipment recently, so can't thin what might be going on?
Thanks for any help..
