From Wikipedia: The channel's annual budget for 2011/12 is 1,166.6 million.3 Along with the BBC's other domestic television stations, and many European broadcasters and some in Asia, it is funded principally by the television licence fee, and therefore shows uninterrupted programming with no commercial advertising at any time. It is currently the most watched television channel in the United Kingdom, ahead of its traditional rival for ratings leadership, ITV1. This system used a vertically-scanned image of 30 lines just enough resolution for a close-up of one person, and with a bandwidth low enough to use existing radio transmitters. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about BBC One HD on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

My freeview box was working fine until 4th April. Now I cannot receive either BBC1 or BBC2 but have fine reception for ITV channels.
Is anyone else in the Weybridge area having he same problems?

Penny: Some Freeview boxes and TVs will not work after switchover.

From Crystal Palace, BBC standard definition services have "switched" and others have not.

What's the make and model number of your box or TV that does not receive BBC channels?

Ron Robson: Not fully sure what you are intending to use the VCR for regarding the "free" channels, but when analogue is switched off in your area then the only way that the VCR will work is via its two scart sockets, as its aerial connection will then be redundant.

If you are meaning to record from the Humax and play back via the TV, then a scart cable would be run from the Humax's No2 scart socket to the VCR's AV2 input, and the VCR's AV1 output going to the TV's scart socket,
the VCR's "input" selector being permanently left on AV2 as otherwise it would try to record from its internal tuner, which of course will be inoperative.

I am near Tunbridge Wells and cannot receive the HD channels. They should be on UHF channel 47, but my STB shows nothing on that channel. All the other MUXs (41,42,44,49 and 52) are fine, showing about 50% signal strength. Anybody else using the TWells transmitter got this issue?

Arnold Hague: I found the manual for it here:

http://www.sony.co.uk/sup…x653

However, it doesn't go into much detail about tuning.

If there is manual tune, then try manually tuning to the HD channel of your transmitter. HD services are broadcast using DVB-T2 standard whereas standard definition services use DVB-T. Therefore, there "may" be an option to select this when manually tuning.
