Paul McKenzie: Retro Movies seems to have gone off air on satellite, resulting in it being removed from the Sky and Freesat EPGs. It is apparently still available via the Channelbox streaming service on Freeview, however no announcement has been made by the owners of the channel as to why it has ceased broadcasting on satellite and when or if it will return.

Is Freesat better than using a tv aerial. Is there any subsription?

David Pinkney: You'll get more channels with Freesat (how many more will depend on what you can receive via Freeview) although you won't get Channel 4 HD on Freesat (it can be tuned in manually but won't appear in the main channel guide). There is no subscription, hence the name Freesat.

Hi, what's happened to Frontrunner, it doesn't seem to be on Sky 431 anymore?

Les Waldron: Frontrunner has closed, along with Showcase, which was operated by the same company (Information TV).

Looks like a transponder move is in the pipeline for Smithsonian HD:

Can you please inform me the transmitter aerials on the Somerset coast near Minehead need to be aligned to in order not to receive the multiplex from Wales? I recently stayed in the St. Audries holiday centre and could only receive the Welsh language multiplex.

Nicholas Anderson: We need a full postcode in order to look up which transmitters are available at your location. Or you can enter your postcode at Freeview | All your favourite TV shows, all in one place and all for free then click Detailed View on the next page and it will show you which transmitters are predicted to be available, with the compass bearing and polarity (either horizontal or vertical) that the aerial elements (the little rods) need to be for each transmitter.

Hmm. That section of North Somerset coastline is a difficult area. As explained to you in response to your November query here Get to see your Freeview predictions map | free and easy signals from Wenvoe, Kilvey Hill and Carmel readily travel across the Bristol Channel as Michael will also explain to you if he spots your post.
There are 5 local West region "Light - 3 PSBs" relay transmitters in the general area and the main West Mendip mast, however the power level, terrain & co-channel interference from other transmitters makes it very unlikely that you will get any reception from the relays (you are well out of the normal coverage area for them all) and likewise it will be difficult from Mendip. One coverage checker says you'll get some variable/poor reception from Mendip, but the coverage map doesn't show reception at that location.
You are going to need a high gain very directional aerial to stand any chance of getting any reception from any of the relays (something like an amplified high gain log-periodic), but most will be ruled out for reasons already mentioned. I'll give Channels for PSBs1-3, polarisation, power and can only give rough directions as no coverage is predicted.
Furthest away Woodcombe C30, C31, C37, Vertical, 10W, a few degrees N of W.
Carhampton C24, C27, C21, vertical, 28W, a few degrees S of W
Washford C30, C31, C37, Vertical, 12.4W, roughly SW.
Monksilver C40, C43, C46, Vertical, 15W, a few degrees W of S.
Kilve C30, C31, C37, Horizontal, 6W, roughly E.
As you can see 3 relays are co-channel, also C30 is co-channel with Mendip, C37 with Wenvoe.
Carhampton is co-channel with Kilvey Hill (also vertical).
Monksilver is co-channel with Preseli which may give enough interfering signal.
The main transmitters Carmel, Wenvoe & Mendip are horizontally polarised. Kilvey Hill is vertical.
Multiplexes are PSBs1-3, COMs4-6, COMs7&8 at Wenvoe, Mendip; Local at Kilvey Hill, Wenvoe, Mendip.
Carmel C23, C26, C29, 20kW; C33, C36, C48, 10kW ~NW bearing 323 degrees.
Kilvey Hill C21, C24, C27, C25, C22, C28, 2kW; C34, 200W; ~NW bearing 319 degrees.
Wenvoe C41, C44, C47, 100kW; C42, C45, C39, 50kW; C55, C56, 63kW; C37, 10kW ~N bearing 359 degrees.
Mendip C32, C34, C35, C48, C33, C36 100kW; C55, C56, 61+72kW; C30, 5kW ~ a few degrees N of E bearing 82 degrees.
Well, there you are, you asked the question. Personally I don't think you stand any chance of getting those West relays, you may get Mendip PSBs but poor reliability, COMs4-6 will likely be subject to co-channel interference, so probably no reception. COMs 7&8 might be OK.
I would go for Wenvoe as you will get all the multiplexes albiet Welsh news & variations on BBC1/2 & ITV. You still get Ch.4 at LCN8. You might get the Local multiplex which has some of those Sony channels, but remember BBC News on 231 (& 107 if you have HD) will have London News.
