John: You are predicted to receive all six multiplexes from the Angus transmitter with a rooftop aerial. Loft aerials are not suitable for reliable Freeview reception.

Hi - I have recently lost ITV3, Fiver and Five usa from my selection channels. I have re-scanned several times. One of the televisions in the house stil shows those options but a blank screen is shown when I select them. Although I live in Scone I receive good signal with roof ariel so I would prefer to stay with this transmitter. Thanks Bob

Bob Reid: You are not predicted to receive multiplex SDN as your signal comes from the Perth transmitter, which does not carry the service.

Thanks Briantist. We are not on the Perth transmitter. We installed freeview before Perth transmitter was constructed and we received a good signal (and still do) with outside ariel and a booster from the Angus transmitter. Don't really want to reposition the ariel towards Perth unless nessessary but would a high gain ariel still from the Angus transmitter help? We received strong signal ITV3, Fiver and Five USA until 3 weeks ago when Channel Alba appeared (but no content) about the same time. Bob

Briantist - I've just seen that my postcode is wrongly shown on this site. My postcode is PH2 6RP. Should've noticed this before asking the question. Sorry. Bob

bob reid: Digital UK's predictor still reckons you will get best results from the Perth relay at present. For a six-multiplex service it reckons your best option will be Black Hill, once that transmitter switches over next month, although most multiplexes are expected to remain poor until late 2012.
Looking at the terrain and distance that does seem pretty unlikely! Still, Black Hill transmits at 10 times the power of Angus, and Angus may not transmit equal power in all directions.

My postcode is PH2 7DA, served by the Perth transmitter. line of sight giving a very good signal, but it doesn't transmit the full range of services. How likely is it I could get these from either Angus or Blackhill?

Andy Chenhall: Sorry, but you can't get any more channels using you aerial. Your best option is Freesat, see Compare Freeview Light and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Tam Whitelaw: Without knowing your location its impossible to check your reception possibilities, but what you have mentioned could suggest that you were originally receiving STV from another transmitter prior to re-scanning, with it having a split news service covering your area, unless coincidentally there has been some change to STV's news service at about the same time as you changed your equipment!
Go into your TV or boxes tuning menu / signal check menu whilst on STV and see what the Mux channel is showing as, it likely being Mux channel 53 from Angus, with Tay Bridge (Mux Ch47) being the other possibility dependant on location, however should your aerial have been set up to receive Tay bridge it would be mounted vertically, (elements top to bottom) whereas Angus requires it to be horizontal.
That said, in the interests of accuracy your location has to be known, post code being preferable!
