Peter Sammut:

I'm afraid you need to be a bit clearer and say what you mean by your "channel".

Do you mean "to be able to watch ITV HD"? If so put your postcode in Digital UK - Coverage checker where it should tell your the predicted reception from any transmitters you can receive, the multiplexes they transmit & the UHF channel numbers they use.
You will need an HD receiver/set as well.

If you mean this website or any page on it, just save a bookmark that you can use to visit the page.

Stephen Cotton:

There are unusually high levels of "Tropospheric propagation" at present, often associated with High Pressure weather systems.
These levels of propagation are unusual at this time of year - they cause signals from more distant transmitters to travel a lot further than normal. It is currently affecting different parts of the country by varying degrees and signals can change by the second or remain stable for much longer periods.
In the old "analogue" days there was a lot of talk about "continental" interference often in the summer months, but the interference can come from transmitters anywhere in the UK or Europe and even further afield. At the moment some people are getting DAB radio from the Netherlands and FM Radio from France as well as the interference to DTV.

It is predicted to continue for a couple more days, and you are advise NOT to retune as you will likely lose the correct tuning that you had. The "propagation" can be very frequency dependent, and it can only affected one frequency or several, but it can/will be different for others.

People will however have noticed the unusually mild weather which the Met office is referring to as a "Foehn effect" but it's not helpful that it seems none of the major broadcasters were making any reference to the interference being caused to TV and Radio reception! So it's no surprise that people wonder what is going on and think there is a transmitter problem. It is now getting mentioned in some quarters!

For those that have retuned and lost correct tuning, you will have to try again and it could be hit and miss whilst the unusual propagation continues. If you are able to do a manual tune for the correct UHF channels, you may still receive interference or the wrong programmes.

Please can someone explain why ITV HD on Freeview in the Anglia region is from Southampton yet ITV HD on Freesat (channel 103) has our local Anglia East news?

Peter Simpson: There are only a handful of ITV HD regions on Freeview, due to the huge cost of the additional coding and multiplexing equipment which would be required in order to make each region available in HD. There has been no timescale announced for when any additional BBC or ITV regions will be made available in HD on Freeview. On satellite and cable, where less equipment is required therefore resulting in lower costs, ITV have now made every region in England, Wales and Northern Ireland available in HD, where they have now been able to close some SD regions therefore reducing the overall satellite capacity required and bringing the total cost down enough that ITV have decided it is worthwhile making every region available in HD.

Can anyone tell me where I can complain about ITVHD subtitles on Freeview? My partner is hard of hearing and she was so disappointed watching Vera with me as it missed pretty much every other sentence.

Leadley: We need a bit more information, firstly a full postcode so that we can see the predicted signal strength at your location. Have you checked that the aerial cable is connected properly and hasn't come loose or been damaged? It's also worth making sure that the aerial cable isn't tangled up with other cables, as HDMI cables in particular can interfere if they don't have good screening. Did you get the HD channels on your old TV, or any other TVs in the house?
