Marie Turner,Hebden Bridge.The answer is that the Hebden Bridge relay is a lite transmitter only broadcasting the public service multiplexes BBCA,D3+4 and BBCB (HD).It does not and will not broadcast the commercial multiplexes SDN,ArqA and ArqB due to costs involved in providing full freeview coverage on minor relay masts or lite transmitters as they are familiarly known as.I take it the freeview box you bought is a non-HD box hence only two multiplexes the BBC channels and the ITV1,Channel 4 and Channel 5,etc you get at your location.

Dave Parker.No oddly enough i dont,well not yet anyway but one possibility could be more HD programming and multiplexes being switched on and ultimately the normal SD programming and multiplexes gradually becoming fewer and ultimately being switched off altogether possibly by 2030.
The true pros on here of course will elaborate more fully as such.

Andrew.Difficult to say without a full postcode or nearby location as such.The answer is no to the question you asked depending on which main transmitter or relay mast you are on.

James Nelson.Hard to say without a full postcode,but the answer to your first paragraph is 39 channels in total if you do have HD equipment,or 35 channels in total if you have non-HD equipment.
In reply to your second paragraph which channels you stated and importantly which multiplexes that break up (pixellate,etc) due to the big trees near to your abode.Is your aerial horizontally polarised and if so is it a group B aerial (tipped yellow).Check also for any wear and tear on your aerial cable and your aerial plug at the same time.

James Nelson.What i forgot to add is that the Twechar relay or lite transmitter only broadcasts the public service multiplexes BBCA,D3+4 and BBCB (HD).The latter you will only receive with HD equipment,not HD ready TV's as such.Also the Twechar relay is a group A relay polarised vertically and is a 2w powered mast.
