Freeview Sudbury is broadcasting Sony Movies on two channels. Do you think that one of these should really carry Sony Classic Movies?

I would like to watch Freesports, but the only signal I can get is from Sudbury, which does not offer Freesports: I w wonder why?

I live in Shalford, Essex. My freeview antenna is pointed at Sudbury. When I do a channel search with my VU Duo 4k se receiver, it finds 145 channels. As Sudbury only broadcasts 122, I suppose that some of these (TalkSport, for example) must be on other masts which are in other directions. I am surprised that this happens, as my antenna is only a very small one, and is only 10 feet from the ground. On completing the channel search, my receiver sorts them into alphabetical order, and in the process discards 46 of them. I am thus left with 99 I can actually view, though only half a dozen or so of those offer material which interests me. I would particularly like to watch FreeSports, which is not on the Sudbury mast, of course, and wonder what prospect there is of doing so if I invest on a more expensive antenna.

I find it most odd that I can only watch 99 freeview channels, as the 122 channels from Sudbury are all at the same power. Any comment?

Any news about what will happen to Freesports? It seems odd that Sky will just abandon it.

It is a geat pity that Freesports is not available from Sudbury, as I am retired and live on a pension, so I cannot afford to pay to watch sport.
