Trace the cable back from the TV set to the UHF antenna and make sure it is all connected properly. Sounds like there is a break in the signal path somewhere in the cabling.

There very few reasons I can think of that you cannot get a signal.

A. You are not in a FreeviewHD  UHF reception area. Although as your profile says Auckland then that is unlikely to be the problem.

B. Your TV is tuning with the Analogue and not the Digital Tuner. There are no Analogue transmissions any more. Make sure autotune is tuning Digital UHF.

C. As I said before, the antenna is not connected or it is not suitable for UHF.

Can you post a picture of the antenna? Double check that you haven't connected the Dish cable to the TV instead of the Antenna cable.

Thanks Ravi.

Antenna looks good but I suspect you may be in a low signal area as it's a very narrow beam high gain antenna. Being underneath those High Tension Electric wires won't be helping much either. Check with your neighbours and see what they are using and if they have reception problems too. There doesn't appear to be a masthead amp in the picture but if there is a signal amp anywhere in the line it will need a power supply.

You may need to get a Pro Installer with the appropriate gear to sort it out.
