Hi
Since the Oxenhope transmitter has gone digital only three multiplex channels seem to be in use. Will more be available later giving a full range of programs.

Why are there no commercial digital channels being transmitted from the Oxenhope mast please?

banjo: Quite simply because the commercial interests do not consider that the area covered by the station is large enough to justify the running costs of the Multiplex involved.

I have no freeview signal this evening. I have checked using both the loft aerial and portable aerial which both usually pick up a strong signal. My signal is broadcast from the Oxenhope transmitter. Anyone else having this problem?
