Freeview HD

Hold on, you've bought a Freeview HD box and you've got an aerial on the roof that gives a good signal on a TV. Plug the Freeview HD box into THAT aerial instead of what sounds like the radio aerial in the roofspace. No need to worry about Sky etc. yet. If it works, try splitting that signal, if it's not good enough add a booster. Max cost £50 so far.0

As LucyKucky says, I tried that.
The signal was intermittent on the HD channels but fine on the sd ones so for whatever reason, the aerial isn't quite up to HD standards.
thanks anyway.

as I said in my last post the aerial probably just needs re-pointing in the exact right direction.As LucyKucky says, I tried that.

There is a good site HERE that will tell you lots about freeview aerials and siting them.“Careful. We don't want to learn from this.”0 -
Missed that it had already been done in all the confusion. There's no such thing as a digital aerial, and certainly no such thing as an HD one. As above, alignment is more than likely the issue, and you should note that there is such a thing as being too CLOSE to a transmitter!0
