The Hadfield transmitter appears not to be working this morning (Sunday 31st March). Please advise if there are engineering works ongoing, or if there is a power cut affecting the transmitter.

Looking forward to watching 'The Village' tonight !

Brenda: Although I am unaware as to the present situation at the Glossop relay because the TX fault reporting website does not appear to have been updated as yet, but if your TV / box has a "manual" tuning facility could you enter mux Ch28 into the box but do NOT follow this by pressing search or scan, because "if" any signal is there the level / quality of should be indicated, giving an update on the result.

Service restored but unwatchable due to interference - the sound is unbearable and completely unacceptable : (

Having previously said that Freeview is completely unwatchable, it seems to only be the case on the BBC channels, so here's a 'hello' to the limited other channels that we can receive in the Glossop area - it's a good job that Come Dine With Me is a guilty pleasure of mine..!

In all seriousness, does anyone know of a decent workaround?

I really miss Film 4 and so many other channels that I once had before moving here...

Brenda: Your best bet with regards Film4 (and other channels) would be to look at getting a Freesat receiver. Your block has a satellite dish on the mast to which the terrestrial aerial is fitted to the top.

See here for a comparison of full Freeview versus Freesat:

Brenda: If you are not that bothered about HD then a Freesat box as simple (and cheap) as this one advertised by Argos would suffice, although there is nothing to stop you looking at their more expensive types should you require a little more sophistication.

Thank you for the replies guys : )

It looks like maybe Freesat is the way to go?

I'll have to look into it...
