If you have the misfortune to live in the Hannington transmitter area and do not have a HD TV offering program 104 is there any way to watch channel 4 at the right time or are you restricted to channel 4+1 at P13 on C42?

Peter GAMSTON: Channel 4 SD (LCN 4) has been available on the PSB2 multiplex (Hannington UHF channel 42) from every transmitter since digital switchover.

I live in Churt and I keep losing signal from Hannington. I have spoken with an Aerial specialist and he has said others in my area are having the same issue. Please explain why.

Neil Baker:

It could well be due to the high pressure acrioss the UK currently. Many people are having ther reception compromised by it. It is a well known natural phenomenon about which noby can do anything to change it.

HI - apologies for the repost but since the last "upgrade/Channel Switch" we have lost Freeview channels 90-99 (Forces TV etc) and no matter how many times we have re-tuned cannot pick them up. Our post code is GU10 2QL

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Richard Allen:

The predicted reception for your location, according to the post code you have helpfully given, shows that you are unlikely to get much useful reception from Hannington, but that Crystal Palace would be a better option. See Coverage Checker - Detailed View

It suggests that you are aunlikely to get resonable reception of COMs 7 or 8. You would need a wideband aerial to stand any chance of getthing those, though you are quite some way from the transmitter and thos multiplexes are brodcast as=t a lower power than the main 6 multuiplexes.

Apologies to all, there was a fault in my code that was showing the final position for the 700MHz clearance, rather than the correct interim one of 45 42 39 40 43 46 55 56.

I've just done a scan and noticed that the _local mux is on 32 and 34 - both carrying the same content (local + Sony movies).

andyfras: One will be carrying That's Berkshire and the other will be carrying That's Surrey. Both show the same programs most of the day but have separate local news programs in the evening.
