there would appear to be no digital signal for premises under the shadow of beacon hill halifax has beacon hill booster been switched off and if so when will it be switched back on. the apartment is in a converted mill so we have no access to the aerial other people have simply subscribed to sky is this the only option.

nick davis: No is the short answer to your question. You are however predicted to be able to receive the full Freeview service with good reception from Emley Moor, subject to there being no local obstructions, such as trees or tall buildings, blocking the signal path. Use a group B aerial set for horizontal polarisation for reception of Emley Moor. There are no current plans to add the COM muxes to relay transmitters as it would double the transmission cost whilst only serving an additional 8% of the population.

We are having problems receiving ITV channels, BBC channels are OK. When using "Auto retune" on the TV, only BBC channels are recognised.
We are in Rastrick, using the Southowram transmitter.
Are there any known problems or is it our ariel?
