Regarding my previous LBC reception problem, I resited my DAB radio from my kitchen bench to the top of my fridge freezer. Resiting was a recommendation from AUDIENCE SERVICES and to extend the aerial as far as possible. Also, to point the aerial until dropouts could no longer be heard. The top of the fridge freezer is above my height (5' 10") and so far seems to have worked. A very technical explanation email discussed DAB signals are sometimes on a "cliff edge" and some radios cannot perform well with a weak signal.

Linda henderson: LBC changed transponder on Tuesday 24 April.

If, as seems the case, your Freesat device has not updated by itself, you can re-scan manually.

My comment is the same as John Yare's. Despite re-tuning the LBC channel on 732 is no longer being broadcast on Freeview. Is it because of the transmitter for our location (North Dorset) or is there another reason. Can receive LBC on DAB and satellite but no longer on Freeview. Please advise.
