Below are all of StevensOnln1's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Kevin: Talk Radio is carried on the SDL National multiplex, which is not broadcast from Stockland Hill. If you give us your location (preferably as a full postcode) we can see whether you might be able to receive it from another transmitter.

Daniel McCormick: Most likely because of either interference or a fault with your aerial system. As you haven't said where you are (please provide a full postcode) or which transmitter you're using, we can't check for any reported faults or engineering work.

John Hardy: Helicopters are used in the construction and maintenance of masts which are too tall for cranes, so I imagine that the idea would have been considered, although I doubt there would be any need to involve the army when there are already commercially available helicopters which can do that kind of work. Having said that, is the legal issue down to the access route to the site of the temporary mast, or is the use of the land itself for the siting of the temporary mast, which is outside of the 300m exclusion zone around the existing mast? The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) so the land owner may not even be the party bringing the legal action.
In a further update on the restoration of Freeview services, COM4/5/6 have now been added to the temporary transmitter at Arncliffe Wood on UHF channels 29, 31 & 37. The Teeside local mux and COM7 have been added to Eston Nab on UHF channels 30 and 55.
Freeview have now published a page giving full UHF channel listings for the temporary transmitters and Bilsdale's relays:

Maxwell : This isn't London Live's website and it is unlikely that anyone from the channel will see your comment here. You would be better off contacting them via their own website.

John Clark: The post directly above yours states that there is engineering work taking place this week.

ALFRED ROBINSON: If you're referring to Freesat, CNN was removed by the broadcaster.

Steven Jackson: I think you're on the wrong website. I can't see what a GPS tracker has to do to with TV or radio.

Nicholas Anderson: The BBC have already announced that regional versions of BBC One HD will launch in each region by the end of next year. This is very complex and expensive to implement, it isn't just a case of changing a feed at the transmitter.

Cynthia flint: Do you have an aerial connected to your TV? If it's an old TV that doesn't have a digital tuner (most will have the Freeview logo somewhere) then you will need a set top box.

Stuart Tallack: The Findon transmitter uses completely different frequencies to Rowridge, so it is extremely unlikely that any changes at Findon are causing interference with signals from Rowridge. If you provide a full postcode then we can see what the predicted signal strength is at your location and may be able to offer further advice.
