cant view hd channels

[jokerpaulonline]

I have just bought meself a samsung led television, nice clear picture and very sharp colours.

Thw problem I am having is that I cant view any of the hd channels on it. The aerial that I have got is quiet an old outdoor aerial fitted in the loft.

If I was to replace this aerial with a new digital aerial, would this solve my problem ?

i would call in a aerial company and get some advise from them no harm in calling them

all the best

You could do that but if it doesnt work does the seller accepts returns, if not you would have just wasted your money.

if you can return it then may be worth it.

Where are you situated? It may be that Freeview HD is not yet available in your area.

Yep, Chudleighpaul could be on to something here, have a look at this, just stick your post code in.

Ahhh so much for that idea then!

You said your aerial is old, it could be that it's not a wideband model which you'll probably need for post DSO Freeview, especially if you want HD. In which case the aerial you mention above could be the solution you're looking for.

In some areas the HD channels are transmitted on lower power. I would suggest a wideband aerial fitted outside will give you best results.
