I don't have a problem at all. Not only do I get all the Freeview channels I would expect to, I even get a handful from the Welsh transmitters (which, as a rugby fan, is handy.)
My query was because I was visiting the Isle of Man when they switched over, and they didn't get some of the freeview channels which I would have expected (e.g. 5USA, 5*, Dave, etc)
When I asked the "experts" why, they said that there are only a limited number of freeview channels that are guaranteed to all.
If I understand you correctly, these are the PSBs?

I know that not all freeview tv channels can be received in all areas, but my understanding is that there are a number which you should expect to get in all areas. I was told this by the travelling helpdesk. I can't recall which they are, though. From memory, all the BBC ones, ITV, Channel 4 and its subsidiaries, and Channel 5 - but not necessarily 5USA, 5*, Dave, Yesterday, etc.
Could somebody please confirm the minimum expectations?
