I live in Bracknell and have so far been unable to get Freeview BBC FOUR HD. BBCs 1, 2, 3/CBBC and News 24 are all available here in HD, but even trying manual tunning of C33 570MHz, and getting a signal level reading varying from 8 to 10 on 1 to 10 scale of my Panasonic Blu-ray recorded, I get not even a 1 on the signal quality indicator. Does this mean that those living in Bracknell are not considered worthy of receiving BBC FOUR HD via Freeview?

Indeed, and having followed your kind advice, I find myself no better off regarding the matter of receiving BBC FOUR HD. Are there any plans for higher power output for C33 from Crystal Palace? The level currently in use does seem extremely meager compared to that powering the other BBC HD channels.

Just updated the channels on a neighbour's HD set. Similar situation, BBCs 1, 2, 3, CBBC and News 24 in HD, but not luck with BBC FOUR. Indeed, an attempt at manual tuning gave "No signal". It thus does look like we are out of range here for the underpowered Channel 33 from Crystal Palace.

Many thanks. Looks like a wait until next year. I will look into the aerial problem closer to the day. My current Hannington aerial is no where near as well equipped as that for Crystal Palace. Don't fancy getting up to the chimney until a summer's day either.

Bracknell
Living in Bracknell, I can now get BBCs 1, 2, THREE, CBBC, and News 24 in HD, but there is no sign of BBC FOUR in HD. Please advise.
