TV has Freeview HD but cant get any of the channels ?

Evening all, I have a new tv with Freeview HD tuner ( yes i know at last lol ) anyway have it all set up with my vu duo + stb and i know i can get channels ie BBC 1 HD 2HD 3HD 4HD and ITV 1 HD, etc through my stb but as tv has built in freeview hd tuner i did full tune up on tv and all i get is normal sd channels no freeview hd channels ???

I know my aerial is about 40 years old i know im not even kidding this must the reason why im not getting channels dont you think ??
Thinking i may go to my local screwf*x store and get a new digital aerial do we all agree lol ??

Thanks

Yes i would agree that a new aerial is in order thats for sure..it will be a wideband aerial you are after which most are now.

Is your cabling also 40 years old or has that been replaced at some point..have a look at your signal strength and see what that says.

Hiya,

i have checked signal strength of what i can get ie sd channels and between 8-10 out of ten not enough though i guess for hd channels on freeview ??

Happy new year lol.

Is the tuner itself a HD tuner? A silly question I know but I have just been researching for you and there's reports of some people purchasing a HD TV but oddly enough the freeview tuner itself isn't HD.

Odd I know but worth investigating to rule it out

I have checked and double checked and is in specifications it says built freeview hd tuner

Have you looked at channels 100 upwards? That's where freeviewHD start.
FYI there is no such thing as a Digital Aerial.

Thankyou I found them theres only BBC1 HD BBC2 HD BBC3 HD ITV 1 HD and Channel 4 HD no cbeebies HD or BBC NEWS HD ??

thanks for that still gonna get new aerial and booster set up aerial is over 40 years old long over due ?

After 40 years, yes a new aerial and cable is advisable. You may not need a booster, too much signal can cause problems.
How many TV's are you running off 1 aerial?
Bear in mind, Since switchover DTT signal strengths have been drastically increased, you can quite easily run 4 tv' off 1 aerial and a good 4 way splitter.
