Do you know if the local transmitter problem could be causing this loss of signal. I have noted that the signal strength is indicating approx 60% and signal quality is at 100%, the you view box we have is a HUAWEI DN370T.

hi there, hoping someone can help, for the last 2 days, we have not been able to receive any hd channels, we have a youview box downstairs and an freeview hd tv upstairs, both have lost their hd channels, all other channels remain fine and dandy, have gone through all the recommended retuning bits, taking out the aerial, factory settings etc, but no joy, don't know where to try next, all cables are fine, looking outside the aerial is in exactly the same position as our neighbours, so, any ideas?? we are in cliftonville, margate, thanks

jb38, many thanks for your previous help, well here is my latest installment to my saga,my aerial is as you say aligned towards the Dover transmitter, i have just taken my 32 inch Samsung TV to one of my neighbours to see if it would tune in and receive the signal for the HD channels but my TV could not receive them but all other channels are ok, i guess this rules out the aerial being faulty !Both of my TV`s are run off the same aerial via a multi-room booster which i have checked and seems ok. One TV is less than a year old with HD Freeview and the other TV is HD via the HUAWEI you view box. I`m at a loss as to pinpoint the source of the problem, i`m no expert but is seems that the signal for HD has disappeared but there are no problems reported on the transmitters? Aaaargh

Hi Dave, it seems this problem is affecting more people by the day, i have had no solution as yet! i have also reported this fault with R + T Investigation but as yet they have not come back to me with any updates! so pretty much we are still left without HD channels and nobody knows why........

Hi jb38, Thanks for your reply.I can confirm that the TV connected to the Huawei box was showing 60% signal strength and 100% signal quality on most channels. however C53 is not being received at all even after numerous resets & re-tunes. I`m thinking that as this affects my other TV then maybe the you view box is not the source of the problem
Ref the second TV, this was previously receiving HD channels with no issues, this TV has freeview HD built in and is not connected to the you view box, the same problem affected this TV as well ,this could also receive all other channels except C53, its like there is no signal for C53.

Dave G/jb38,
I have just caught up with the posts on here as i am away at the moment, but can confirm (after phoning home that they have now got C53 back Yippee!!!) Many thanks to you both for your tips/advice as i am no engineer and appreciated your help.
Just one question ? what`s an exciter & what does it do!
