Hi. Do you still have this strange problem? If not, it may have been a "passing" technical problem that's been resolved. If you've still got this, perhaps check with neighbours if they have the same issue which would narrow it down a bit. We don't know which transmitter you receive, so would need a full postcode to check, if it's an ongoing problem.

Last night 10pm the fight will be broadcast exclusively on BT Sport Box Office, which is Sky channel 494, and also available through the BT Sport app. It is likely to cost 19.95, in line with previous BT Sport offerings.

If the TV has an HD/T2 Tuner, it's possible your location might be prone to more reception problems for the HD multiplex, but a Full postcode would be needed to check that.
You could also try a Manual tune on UHF C29 and see what signal strength and quality you get, if any.

As StevensOnln1 has explained, Teletext as such no longer exists.
Some TV's have a "Text" button on the remote as well as "Red button" and unfortunately the Red Button on most no longer provides the "text" service that you can get from the Text button.
You might do better to try using a PC/Laptop/Tablet etc to visit news webpages on the internet and use a screen reader as mentioned by StevensOnln1.

Umm, C33 appears to be used by Emley Moor!
Which transmitter do you get you Freeview from David?
You seem to be in a "good" location that can get signals from several (4) transmitters which are spread across most of the currently used UHF band (21-48) and that's in normal weather conditions.
Have you noticed any degradation whatsoever in Signal Strength but especially Quality on any of your normal reception? The reason I've asked is the possibil8ity of getting a free filter if you have noticed degradation. which if put in the correct place in your system might get rid of mobile interference.
The other thing I'd suggest is ensuring you are using double screened coax for your aerial and flyleads especially, to try and minimise interference getting into the system.
Are you using any amplification in your distribution system?
Maybe trial and error as regards choice of channel, I'd first try C49, C38, C39
Channels in use you may get signals from are 22, 23, 25, 26, 28 - 37, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46 - 48.
Other than that, try your Manual tuning on the TV to check what signals you actually are getting, obviously the direction and orientation of your aerial will reject a number of signals but others will be received off side lobes and the rear. Anything you find absolutely clear may be usable.

You are about 20km from Sandy Heath, compass bearing 150 degrees (that's almost SSE) and the rods (or squashed Xs) should be horizontal.
Considering the transmitter powers used at Sandy (182/170kw PSB/COM multiplexes) you should have very good reception, and a medium gain aerial used externally would probably be adequate if good quality double screened coax is used feeding just one set (and not an excessive cable run!).
I'd think about something like 28 to 36 element K Group Log periodic types (yes grouped log-periodics are now made!).
Eg. something like the Blake BLA-LP28K if you have an unobstructed line-of-sight view, but check what your neighbours are using or get specialist advice from an installer that knows your area well.
(Details from Blake's website https://www.blake-uk.com/…tml)
Whilst Group T/Wideband aerials would do, they give no protection to mobile interference if you should get a mast near you and you'd probably need to add a filter.

The site owner hasn't had time to fix a number of issues on the site, but as IE is no longer supported by MS, you need to use MS Edge instead.

Are you using Freesat or Freeview? If Freeview, which transmitter do you receive, it's is fine with me.

Kevin Gilmore:
You'd find the information on the Freeview transmitter page rather than here on the DAB page. But to save you looking it would be a Group A.
But a group K, T or wideband would work but NOT recommended as they'll be more likely to pick up signals you won't necessarily want like mobile interference if you have a mast nearby.
