Mike Dimmick.If as you state Caradon Hill does not use the frequencies which i mentioned in my earlier post,then the Caradon Hill page must be incorrect then.For the Caradon Hill page it states SDN ch21+,BBCB ch22+,ArqA ch24-,D3+4 ch25+,ArqB ch27-,BBCA ch28+ (local ch30,com7 ch31,com9 ch36,com8 ch37 at a future date !).If these are wrong it requires updating with the correct information.Although one thing which is correct,Caradon Hill is and will remain (barring future frequency changes) a group A aerialed horizontally polarised transmitter and as such only group A aerials (or group K alternative) should be fitted instead of group W wideband aerials on group A only masts.On the Stockland Hill page it states ArqA ch22-,D3+4 ch23+,SDN ch25-,BBCA ch26+,ArqB ch28-,BBCB ch29+ (com7 ch32,com9 ch 36,com8 ch37 at a future date !,no local mux ?).Also if this is wrong it too requires updating with the correct info.Stockland Hill like Caradon Hill is also a group A areialed horizontally polarised mast.If both these pages are correct then both Caradon Hill and Stockland Hill are both broadcasting on frequencies 22,25,28,so the above affected frequencies are clashing as such.If i am wrong then i apologise,but for once i am sure that i am right this time !

Mark Fletcher: Sorry, I managed to get Caradon Hill and Beacon Hill mixed up. Still, the reason for Stockland Hill's restriction is more to do with Crystal Palace low-power multiplexes than to do with Caradon Hill high-power.
Yes, there will be some interference between Stockland Hill commercial muxes and Caradon Hill PSBs. In general, though, the more rugged terrain means that there will be less of a clash than between Stockland Hill and Crystal Palace COMs.

Why do I get iTV Wales on ITV plus when viewing regional programmes? Also I get the subtitles to adverts for English ads whilst getting thevWelsh adverts. A friend in Beer has the same problem. We have Humax Freeview recorders if that makes a difference.

I have just bought a Humax HDR Fox T2. I decided to tune it in manually as described on Digitaluk. All was fine up to Channel 29 (HD) when it said no channels found. Looking at my channel list all was there but the HD channels. I reset the box and did an auto search and the HD channels appeared. What is going on? Are these HD channels from Stockland Hill?

David Meadows: Digital UK Tradeview coverage predictor and Ofcom info says it is C29.
If you have a booster? If so, try removing it.

David Meadows: The Humax HDRFOXT2 manual tuning menu has an entry for "Transmission", which you have to change to DVB-T2 to be able to decode the HD programmes. The standard definition programmes use the DVB-T setting.

Thanks for the comments. The problem was not changing to the DVB-T2 standard when searching for channel 29. Once I did that all was well. I cleared all the stored programs and retuned manually to avoid the other transmitters. I don't know where the HD channels that had automatically tuned in were coming from. They were a very weak signal, I think the menu said channel 64. Mendip is just over the hill,but I could never get an analogue signal from it. Thanks David
