I live in Eyemouth, I only have a loft Ariel but it has worked 99.9% of the time. The only time it went out was probably due to atmospheric conditions. I now have an LCD TV with Freeview HD built in. I've now found that a set-top ariel will work fine if positioned correctly. If you have an old one lying around it might be worth a try. The signal strength might be slightly lower but it wont effect the picture.

Bill Hill: You are much closer to the Eyemouth transmitter than Lesley, which makes a set-top aerial more likely to work.

I only mentioned a set-top Ariel because it's easy to move about and pick up what might be a very directional signal. I was even able to receive a signal from the Grampian transmitter for a very short period over the summer and that's a very long way away indeed.

Thanks for your advice, we haven't chosen the Eyemouth aerial, it just says that on Digital TV UK. We are using Sky (but not paying for it) for viewing just now, but we don't seem to get the number of channels you can get on Freeview. We have only just moved here and there is an aerial on the roof, but don't know if it's working correctly. Unfortunately I think we need to get someone in to have a look.

Lesley: You can get Freesat using the same dish as you presently use for Sky. This will give you more channels.
There are a few channels such as Dave that are not on Freesat that are on the Freeview full service and it looks as though Chatton is your only possibility for this at your location.

Eymouth seems to be very low power at the moment on the BBC block. My sister cut down 3 trees to see if it improved transmission but it didn't. Other neighbours are suffering the same.

OK, I can see that the Eyemouth transmitter is currently down. So I wont try and retune my TV. Your tracking seems to be working well, good job.

Bill Hill:
A week ago I had a Sony TV installed and channels found by the John Lewis engineers. These included BBC 1 Scotland HD, BBC 2 HD, ITV HD. Numerous other freeview channels as well as BBC1 Scotland. My aerial faces Eyemouth. I also have an aerial to get reception from Chattam. I can still get BBC1 (north east) in HD and ITV. but since Friday night I have not been able to get BBC1 Scotland HD. Can you suggest a reason? None of the connections have come loose.
Will the programmes transmitted in HD be seen in HD on the none HD BBC Scotland channel?
