I live in Billinghurst RH14 9TW with a rooftop aerial.
I can receive all Midhurst channels 55,61,62,59,50 but not the HD channel 58.
Is this currently up?

Alan: The transmitter engineering posting that preceded your own indicated that work is being carried out all week at the station with periods of interruption to the service being expected, and so "if" you have already been receiving HD then this will be the reason for presently not doing.
I only highlighted "if" just in case you are initially tuning the TV and its an HD Ready type of set, as these cannot receive an HD signal and can only display it via an external HD box.

Thanks, I have never been able to get HD Freeview. It does indeed look like I've been caught out as my TV only supports DVB-T and DVB-C and not DVB-T2. Seems a bit of a swindle that manufacturers do not make this clear - I only bought my set 2 years ago.

Alan: I suspected that might be the case, and I fully agree with what you have mentioned regarding this issue, as I disagreed with that logo being allowed to be used right from day one as it was inevitable that people were going to be caught out by it.
