Paul: It already does, like each of the other 1000+ transmitters in the UK. If you mean BBC4 HD, then no it won't.

Paul: Possibly, but only after 2018 when TV frequencies could be reorganised.

Paul: Of course, as Michael says, Brierley Hill does broadcast BBC Three HD. It is BBC Four HD that isn't likely until reorganisation is carried out.

A new channel was launched today using the new local tv multiplex. QVC EXTRA is channel 57 in the standard Freeview channel line up. It will only be a temporary channel on this multiplex till its removed along with the "pop " music channel to make way for the local tv channel CITY 8 when it finally launches on November 3rd.

Now that BBC3 has been confirmed as moving to online only, do you think they will move BB4 HD into the slot vacated?

Reception from the Brierly Hill transmitter is good most of the time but disappears when it rains, this affects mainly the BBC channels although the signal is poor on other channels.
my post code is DY9 9ED
