TV reception lost 3 times in an hour, for at least two houses in my road. It is back now, but for how long. Is there any fault at the transmitter. There is never any explanation given. Also, no phone number to be able to speak to someone.

Mrs Hodson. :

There is no problem currently reported for your local transmitter. It could be a purely local aberation. DO NOT RETUNE your equipment and advise others nearby the same.

Free Channels:

We are not missing any tricks. We contributors know that any Freesat set top box will receive all the free-to-air programming offered via that medium. Likewise we are fully aware that using a Sky box without a subscription still shows all the free-to-air programmes as well. Similarly, Freeview equipment shows all the free-to-air programmes available. However, there is a regulatory requirement for any receiving and watching any UK TV services, even if using a 'catch-up' service, to have a TV licence which costs 145.50 per year.

Note also that Freesat, Freeview and Sky boxes used this way do not have to have an internet connection at all, but having such allows access to some of the catch-up services. Some equipment does use an internet connection, such as BT TV and NOW TV, use both an internet and an off-air method. You have to pay for BT TV at a cost of at least 5 per month.

Why do I only get the most basic channels, about 10 and associated HD and +1 channels?

I would like to receive ITV3, I get 1,2 and 4, which I rarely watch. I would also like Drama. Both of these are available easily elsewhere.

Thank you

Frederica : because you local transmitter is a 'light' transmitter, and the commercial channels have no interest in broadcasting to you - your just too small a market to make it worth it.

You could try another transmitter, or just get Freesat.

The problem with local TV in the UK unlike in the US is that the stations are not affiliated to one of the major networks thereby meaning that they are not financially able to broadcast live events and news where it is taking place with a reporter on the spot. This can only be solved by either local advertising or a subsidy from one of the two networks in the UK who regularly broadcast regional news or a combination of both. When put into effect live local news would in itself attract higher viewing figures which should translate to local advertising.
