Bill Hill:

A week ago I had a Sony TV installed and channels found by the John Lewis engineers. These included BBC 1 Scotland HD, BBC 2 HD, ITV HD. Numerous other freeview channels as well as BBC1 Scotland. My aerial faces Eyemouth. I also have an aerial to get reception from Chattam. I can still get BBC1 (north east) in HD and ITV. but since Friday night I have not been able to get BBC1 Scotland HD. Can you suggest a reason? None of the connections have come loose.
Will the programmes transmitted in HD be seen in HD on the none HD BBC Scotland channel?

Please check that your TV is tuned to the correct transmitter signals.

Please would you give a full post code so that we can check which transmitter(s) are suitable and whether any have reception problems at your exact location.
