Freeview HD stopped working

[barchetta_boy]

Hi all,

A few months back my Panny Freeview PVR suddenly stopped showing the Freeview HD channels (BBC1, 2, ITV etc) that had been working fine for months.

since then I've tried rebooting the box and retuning many times but to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Signal too strong? I know that sounds counter-intuitive, but a couple of my TVs object to the BBC HD channels as the signal strength is too high from Crystal Palace; my house's previous owner fitted a high gain aerial on the roof in the days before they increased Freeview transmitter power from 20kW to 200kW! Try a cheap attenuator in-line with your aerial lead to see if that's the problem.

Cheers,
Pete

I'm in West Kent, near Edenbridge, could this realistically be a problem from here?

I had in mind 4G transmissions might be buggering it up, but what to do about it is another question...

Also check if you're in an area that's recently started running 4G wireless services, as I think they've been known to knock out reception dependent on signal strength. If it is the case I think you can get an in line filter for free from a company (at800 rings a bell) that should improve the situation.
