Martin Stern: This website doesn't have a tech department or any sort of support line, perhaps you are referring to the Freeview Advice Line? To offer any advice, we need to know which transmitter you're using (please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted coverage etc). Also, have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?

Thanx in advance for any constructive replies. Appreciated.

Why can't I get Al Jazeera, in HD, from the Ridge Hill transmitter?

The Smithsonian Channel, in HD, is a no show too.

I live 20 miles from Ridge Hill, probably line of sight. High gain digital loft mounted antenna.

Gary: Al Jazeera HD closed on Freeview a few weeks ago, only the SD version is now available. There is no HD version of Smithsonian Channel on Freeview, only the SD version on COM7. You will need a wideband aerial for reception from Ridge Hill, it's likely that you currently have a Group A aerial which is designed to receive the lower part of the UHF band, not the higher part where COM7 & COM8 have moved to (there is no such thing as a digital aerial - it's a piece or metal that doesn't know or care if a signal is digital or analogue).

Hi, I have lost Al Jazeera English, first Channel 235 dissappeared, now 267 has gone. 235 was sometimes a little noisy but always appared in my channel list. Channel 267 appeared to provide to an internet streaming link to my Smart TV, however it was very useful as it sat inside my channel list so I could easliy select AJ Engish, AJ Arabic is still there as Channel 268 and also an internet streaming link. I am now forced to load the AJ English app separately everytime I want to watch AJ English, very inconvenient. When can I expect AJ English to beome available again?

Hi Bruce.
Al Jazeera English is still broadcast on LCN235, it's on the ArqB/COM6 multiplex which also carries GBNews on LCN236 so if this a reception problem, that should be missing as well as also a number of other channels carried on that multiplex.
The streaming version on LCN267 is carried on the SDN multiplex as is LCN268 so this sounds a bit like a possible combination of reception and tuning.

If you provide a full postcode, we can check your predicted reception, and whether the transmitter you normally get has any engineering whether Planned or Faults and also check for possible interference.

In the meantime if there are other channels that you've noticed problems with, eg. bad pixellation or no signal, please let us know which ones.
