David Pressley: The national BBC One HD service was replaced by local BBC One HD regions (BBC One South West HD for Stockland Hill) earlier this year. If you are receiving BBC Two HD on 102 then try retuning with the aerial unplugged to clear the tuning memory, then reconnect the aerial and retune again.

Michael Norman: Hartshill Quarry does not broadcast the D1 National DAB multiplex which carries Classic FM.

Willie Bone: Radio 4's Long Wave transmissions has been paid for by the electricity companies in recent years. With the radio teleswitch service (used to switch economy 7 meters between day and night modes) set to close, this funding with end and the transmitters will close with it.

Chris Dixon: The Project Restore website only seems to mention TV services being transferred to the new mast. It looks like there is work still to be carried out to restore DAB/FM radio, mobile phone antennas and other services.

GREAT! TV has moved from the local multiplex to COM6, expanding to near national coverage. Some viewers may need to retune.

Channel 5 +1 has moved to Freeview LCN 38. It remains on the PSB3 multiplex, which can only be received by HD capable equipment (most will have either a Freeview HD/Freeview Play or YouView logo).

Gabrielle Milano: Quest Red is a free to air channel, but you need an active subscription to be able to use the recording function (or play back previous recordings) on a Sky box.

Gabrielle: You aren't paying Sky for a free channel (your Sky box receives its channels from satellite and has nothing to do with Freeview). Sky only make the recording/playback functions available to paying subscribers, it make no difference whether you're trying to record a free channel or a subscription channel.
If you want to watch previous episodes of Quest Red programmes, you can access many for free on the Discovery+ streaming service or app. See the link below or look for the Discovery+ app on your TV or smart device.

Norman : If you are referring to GREAT! TV, until a couple of days ago it was being carried on the local TV multiplex, which is not predicted to be available at your location. It has now moved to COM6 so if you can receive Quest on Freeview channel 12 you should now be able to receive Great! TV after retuning.

Ian Jackson: There is an engineering notice for Sandy Heath this week: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 12/06/2023 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels
This is likely down to the current weather conditions which are allowing signals from distant transmitters broadcasting on the same frequency to travel further than normal and interfere with the signals you are trying to receive.
