Can anyone advise if the Malvern transmitter is actually transmitting HD channels on ch 60 - neither of my my freeview HD boxes are not picking any up (they have been retuned since DSO last night).

I'm using a panasonic freeview + HD box (panasonic have confirmed that this should receive HD) and still can't see any HD channels . There's a full strength signal present on ch 60 but no HD programmes found (all other freeview programmes are fine). I also have a dvb T2 card in the pc and it can't find them either.

Just retuned for the umpteenth time and low & behold they have appeared. Thanks for your help . I just needed to be a bit more patient I suppose!

andy walker: I'm receiving all channels off Malvern without any problems - check that you haven't got a sky box or VCR with an RF output tuned to channel 59 (simplest way is to switch them off).

Malvern (Worcestershire, England) DAB transmitter

I'm glad BBC do transmit from Malvern - in my location (a few miles south of Worcester) my BBC DAB is good but Digital One is variable - especially in the car!

Hi
I have also got problems with Com7 & Com8 following the change of channels from Ridge Hill to 55 & 56. My Sony TV refuses to show any signal at all whilst my Panasonic Freeview HD recorder shows perfect signal strength & quality as does the Samsung TV in the kitchen. Since my postcode is WR8 9JJ my main TX is Malvern and I use a seperate aerial & amplifier for Ridge Hill through a diplexer (rewired to reflect the frequency changes). Prior to the channel changes I had a perfect signal on Com7 & Com8.
I was beginning to pull my hair out in trying to understand why some TVs can't pick up the signals whilst others can - I'm relieved to find I'm not alone!

Com7 com8 on channels 55 and 56 seem to be ok now. I retuned yesterday and picked up bbc 4 hd,, bbc news hd, ch4+1 hd and 4/7 hd without any problems. Suggest anyone who had issues after the channel changes tries a retune now.
