If though you receive the BBC and ITV without glitching then your problem is inclined to suggest that the box being used is not fitted with a DVB-T2 tuner, this being a necessary requirement for HD reception.
Would you know the model number of the box in question?DERBY transmitter - Freeview: BBC Digital TV Off Air from 03:05 on 29 May to 10:59 on 29 May, HD Digital TV Off Air from 09:22 on 29 May to 09:51 on 29 May.
