andy: You do realise that the TV Licence only pays for BBC (and S4C Wales)?
For this reason, the BBC services are provided to all UK homes.
However, the other broadcasters only have to provide their PSB services to all UK homes. These are Channel 4 (and S4C in Wales) , the main ITV (or STV or UTV) and Channel 5.
Everything else is regarded as "commercial" and can be provided to as many, or as few homes as you like.
Freesat is provide for people who only get a limited number of channels from the terrestrial broadcast system: see https://ukfree.tv/comp…pt=3 for the details.

Andy: I'm not surprised your 30 channels break up - your just 2km from the Exeter St Thomas transmitter. If you turn your aerial around to 74 degrees, you should get a full service from Stockland Hill. God helps those who help themselves.

We are having problems receiving Radio 3 on our FM radio while other stations have good reception. We live in Shillingford St George and the direction of our external aerial is 050 degrees.

We need a full postcode to check which transmitter(s) you may be receiving and whether the BBC are reporting any faults.

Dab broadcast has completely disappeared in East Devon over the last days. What is wrong ?

Peter:
How are you receiving DAB - on a portable set or a tuner using an external aerial. If the latter have yoiu checked your aerial is still intact (and pointing correctly if directional)?
If it's a portable set, try a full reset and retuine.
If you are near Exeter, none of the transmitters you may receive (Exeter, Beacon Hill or Stockland Hill) are reporting any faults in the last 5 days.
If you are not near Exeter, please provide a full postcode.

I live in Kenton and have terrible DAB reception using an internal aerial on my Marantz hifi receiver. The reception maps for both Exeter St Thomas and Holcombe Down transmitters both show no DAB transmitter signal in Kenton. Is there any way round this? Might a 5 pole external antenna work?

According to various checkers, Exeter St. Thomas could be somewhat tricky, but you should be able to get at least fair, if not good reception from Holcombe Down (to the south of you) or Budleigh Salterton (to the east of you) or Stockland Hill (to the northeast of you).
Only the main BBC National multiplex Block 12B: 225.648 MHz and
the Local Devon multiplex Block 11C: 220.352 MHz are likely to be available.
Have you tried repositioning your internal aerial so it has the clearest line of sight in those directions? i.e. no thick walls, large metal objects such as fridges/freezers etc., partition walls with foil linings, and so on.
