Sadly no luck so far. Have turned off virtually else off in the house, including the fish tank pump and disconnected all switch mode power supplies and chargers etc .
I also tried looking at the analog background on ch59'by using the fine tuning on my telly's analog tuner. No signal or evidence of background noise.
The really odd thing is that despite getting very good quality and 80% levels on ch55 and 65, there is NO signal on 59- zero, nada, none.
It seems to be a recurring theme on this thread for Blackhill. saw somewhere that the transmitter for this mux maybe halfway up the mast. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks again Brian
The receiver is the new Sony svr-hdt-500 hd freeview box. Definitely supposed to be hd but i agree that the symptoms point to a sd tuner!
I have tried factory reset etc. Thus far there appear no updates on the Sony site for firmware.
Scott- thanks also for your comments. I guess this means there should be no directional or elevation issues with receiving the hd mux.
Perhaps time to return the receiver?

Have a problem receiving HD mux from blackhill which has me confounded. It should be on channel 59. Am based in Edinburgh.
Am using a new Sony HD Freeview+ receiver which tunes all the SD muxes no problem.
Receiving the Mux's on ch55 and 65 no problem, so I guess aerial is ok.
What mode is this mux running? Is there something I can check?
