Hi,
I have a freeview HD ready TV, and have recieved regular freeview for a number of months, but despite trying retuning the television repeatedly, it is still not receiving freeview HD channels. It receives (as far as I can tell) all of the regular channels. The aerial elements are vetically aligned and pointed towards the salisbury transmitter

Hugh: "HD Ready" means that it is "ready" to display HD pictures, but does not have the means to receive HD signals. It will therefore need a separate HD receiver box.
