It isn't. It's a HD ready set. It has no HD tuner.

What channel number is your HiDef feed, and what transmitter do you receive from?

30, Malvern

According to: http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SO774464 the HD MUX from the Malvern transmitter is on Channel 60.

So we don't know whether the problem is the aerial itself rather than a Humax problem.
Do you have anybody nearby who is definitely picking up HD and May be willing to let you connect your Humax as a test.

Well, I am close to out of my depth here. It's certainly 30, and I had been told it was Malvern. I don't know how to check.
Oddly, there's a bit of a signal now. Strength 40%, zero quality. No watchable picture.
Please someone tell me what to do! I sense an aerial man and a call-out charge looming.
This was all working perfectly for months. Nothing has changed...

Is it worth retuning?

No, this did not coincide with the storm, and really there was no storm here.
Have you tried using the coverage checker at http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/home ? Enter your postcode, house number, and tick the detailed view box.
This will show you which transmitter that you are likely to be receiving from, and details of the Mux frequencies.

Well looking at the unfree.tv website, it definitely says that HD is on C60 for the Malvern (Worcestershire, England) transmitter. And I cannot find any other Malvern transmitters.
So something's amiss.

Or possibly The Wrekin, which also uses ch 30 for the HD Mux.

Well, this says Malvern, with good reception on all channels.

As far as I can see, none of these transmitters is showing any problems. So is the problem with my aerial or my box?
So perhaps you need to retune your box to get the HD mux on ch 60, instead of ch 30.
What alternative transmitters does the digitaluk coverage checker show?

What are your StDef multiplexes? The population will identify where you are getting them from.

OK
the digtaluk checker shows only Malvern, as far as I can see.
This morning I did an auto retune. I did this to see if it offered any alternatives for HD. It didn't. It found only the HD channel 30.
I think I should now retune manually to find the HD channels on 60. However I'm wondering if this is wise, given that the autoretune doesn't see them even as alternatives. Doesn't this mean they must be inferior to 30, which it finds every time?
This is all slightly complicated by the fact that HD (on 30) is working perfectly this morning - and was BEFORE the rescan. I think I should ignore this fact as random.
I am wary of manual tuning, as I am (as I said) out of my depth here really. Advice on what to do and how would be gratefully received.

Ah, I see. Digital co uk gives Malvern with alternatives Lark Stoke and Sutton Coldfield. All three show as good.
