Below is a list of all the television and radio channels that you can watch in the UK using one of the free services: DAB (for radio), Freeview, Sky No Card - Sky without a viewing card (Freesat from Sky (or fSfS)) and Freesat.. Where a channel can be watched for free, the channel number is listed below. In addition, if you can watch (or listen) immediately online, press the button in the "web" column.

As some channels are exclusive to one service alone, you may need to get receive more than one service to get all the channels you want.

From Wikipedia: The channel's annual budget for 2011/12 is 1,166.6 million.3 Along with the BBC's other domestic television stations, and many European broadcasters and some in Asia, it is funded principally by the television licence fee, and therefore shows uninterrupted programming with no commercial advertising at any time. It is currently the most watched television channel in the United Kingdom, ahead of its traditional rival for ratings leadership, ITV1. This system used a vertically-scanned image of 30 lines just enough resolution for a close-up of one person, and with a bandwidth low enough to use existing radio transmitters. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about BBC One HD on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I had checked the web-site for a list of services, and I noticed that, although Windermere lists PSB3 with channels 101 to 104, there are no channel icons shown. One TV is a fairly recent Sony (2015, described as 'full HD'); the other is 'HD ready', it's true, but I'm running it via a Manhattan HD-T2 set-top box that's described as 'Freeview HD' - no ifs, buts or readys. Via an HDMI cable, so the TV is getting a decoded digital signal. All PSB1 and PSB2 services are OK, but there's nothing at all from PSB3. I've run out of ideas - hence my cry for help!

Stuart: Look at what transmitter your actually on (just in case) and check signal strength and wiring. You should be getting HD from a Lite transmitter, and I know the Manhattan is HD (I've got one - they do tend to lock up, dont they?) and the 2015 Sony almost certainly has a T2 tuner, so your missing the mux in some way. And thats normally because the signal strength is too low - so either a dodgy connection or too low a signal from a transmitter.

If its on both sets, then the problem is probably where the signal splits or before.

Stuart: In addition to advice given by others. You should try carrying out a signal strength check using the "manual tune" facility on the Manhattan, the procedure being to enter Windermere's Mux 41 (634 Mhz) into the selection box then stop at this point, as if any signal is being received the level of will be indicated no matter how low it might be.

Another point to observe when using an HDMI lead is to make sure that its kept well away from aerial coax cables, as radiation from HDMI cables is well known as being frequently responsible for interfering with (or killing off) the reception of certain Mux channels whilst others are unaffected.

Many thanks for all the help: I've tried all the suggestions, with no success.This is what I found: I can't find any confirmation of the transmitter on the box or TV, but given this hilly area, I'm sure that no others are detectable. Manual tune (with co-ax link to set-top box removed, and HDMI lead held well away from main aerial feed: CH 41 gives strength cycling from 6% to 92% about once every 3 sec; quality does the same from 0% to about 30%. The two variations don't appear to be synchronised. The aerial is communal, with 15 houses connected, and it's over 30 years old, with some trees in the signal path. I have a splitter/amp close to my connection to the system, and the signal is unreliable, with PSB1 (CH44) more prone to occasional picture break-up than PSB2 (CH47). That, together with your comments, leads me to sigh and resign myself to the inevitable! You have helped me enormously, and even though the result isn't what I wanted, at least I appear to have an answer now.

Stuart: As you're using a communal aerial you should ask whoever is responsible for maintaining it to investigate the problem, particular if you can confirm that your neighbours using the same aerial are also affected.

I'm used to seeing odd entries in the Freesat EITpf (now and next) for tests, but not ASTRA or BSkyB.

There are five test items, 3001 to 3005, on the BBC transponder at 10773.25 H.

According to the SDT, 3001 is of type 25 - HD and 3002 to 3005 are type 1 - SD.

I haven't seen any actual streams off them so far.

I use that transponder as a source for SI data with DVBViewer set to record a "Transponder Dump" for one minute, three times daily.

ASTRA only provides EITpf. Here is the event for 3002 from the 11 am Dump:

Chan-King:

The BBC HD services do not carry the 'local' news bulletins, hence the red screen with text. There is not a released plan, as yet, for when BBC1 HD will be expanded to carry all the local news services, it is unlikely to be before 2020 or later. As you are outside of the intended reception area, it is difficult to predict what or when you might get 'local' London news as you are not in the London service area. Your only option would seem to be trying the internet, if your web service is fast enough, or Freesat if you are within the service area of that satellite system. There is no guarantee that anyone outside of the UK will be able to view BBC services or those of any other UK broadcaster.
