There aren't "plenty" of other transmitters : there's Cornholme, and that's it. Walsden is not a viable option.

I can now receive BBC4HD (Freeview 106) from the Todmorden relay, after a retune.

But a little research shows that this is only for the duration of the Olympic Games and it will disappear again after that. What a farce!

Derek Barson:
The blue box below your posting that is titled 'digitaluk trade' states that you should get reliable reception from the Cornholme Freeview Lite transmitter that is just 2km from your post code at a bearing of 88 degrees. The blue box titled 'Freeview Map' shows the signal coverage (when you click on the Cornholme transmitter icon) at your post code should be acceptable for you to get the available channels.
Signals are available on channels 49 (BBC A), 54 (BBC B HD) and 58 (D3&4). These are the PSB multiplexes.

Mike P,
I didn't jump the gun as I posted before any engineering works were announced. When I accessed this site to see if there were any engineering works, the site said there were no reported problems with the Todmorden transmitter. So I reported them. I can't see the point of your comment. Would you care to explain it?
