Steve Donaldson: hi Steve.
Firstly the aerial is solitary use for us only. How long...well up until when bilsdale mast caught fire and the whole thing went to hell it was OK. I can't swear about these specific omissions from back then. Our principal viewing is via cable, but the TV has a freeview receiver built in and occasionally flip it on rather than use the cable box and the TV. Freeview included GHR on 716 several weeks ago and was initially happy to see this as I don't have a dab downstairs, this was when I became fully aware of it, say 3 months ago, but im sure its been going on longer but... the various stages of bilsdales ressurection did mean changes and initially very few channels, gradually increasing from the initial 5 or 6 to 70+ so it was difficult to gauge. It's now clear that something isnt right and I'm trying to get comment / advice from someone in the know. I looked at the transmitter details on the page at the channels which you have again stated. All are fine apart from as I said COM 4,5&6 ch 40, 43 and 46.

I'm having problems receiving a signal on freeview channel 711 - 718 incl. These are radio stations. Tgey show up in the channel id but nothing is received.
Switchng the TV into signal mode it shows 100% on most other channels upto ch 710 and 719 onwards. 711 to 718 signal strength drops to 0%. Sometimes a signal is received but more often not. The signal mode shows no signal on transmitter chs 40 43 and 46.
In tuned jnto the north east I'm in norton in the ts20 postcode. Signal received via ext aeriel on roof.
According to all the notes these stations should be available.
