Why can't I get the same number of channels as my daughter who receives a signal from Kilvay Hill ?

David Thomas :
It'll most likely due to the terrain in your location especially if you are in a valley, and you get signals from a relay "Light" transmitter which only has the 3 main PSB multiplexes. Relay transmitters often only serve small communities and the commercial operators don't consider it cost effective to pay for the extra transmission equipment.
If you provide a full postcode we may be able to advise if there's any possibility of getting signals from another transmitter.
