Keith Cunliffe : COM7 & COM8 will each operate as a single frequency network. There will be areas where some viewers will loose coverage of COM7/8 due to interference. If you enter Winter Hill's postcode into the Digital UK checker it shows that COM7 at WH will move to UHF 55 on 7th March 2018 and COM8 will move to 56 in early 2020. MYP has COM7 moving to 55 in early 2019 and COM8 moving to 56 in Spring of 2020.
The issue you've identified regarding UHF 48 at Sutton Coldfield and Bromsgrove is probably why the local mux from SC will be duplicated across two frequencies with different radiation patterns (I haven't seen a coverage plot so don't know what the radiation patterns are). Try entering a postcode from that area into the Digital UK checker and see what it predicts for the services on UHF 48 following the changes.

Richard Lord : Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? It definitely isn't a problem with this website as no one on here has anything to do with any broadcaster or transmitter company.

Richard Lucas: If the problem is affecting both TVs then you need to check out the amplifier. Does it still have power going in to it? Do you get a signal if you bypass the amplifier by connecting the incoming feed from the aerial to the feed to one of the TVs?

Dave: If you put your postcode into this website, a link to the Digital UK trade checker will appear which will show you if you are predicted to gain coverage of the local mux.

Steven Seeds: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? What signal strength and quality readings do you get on the affected channels? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted signal strength etc.

Michael Griffith: This is not Spike's website and they are unlikely to read your comments here.

Delia Folkard: This is not London Live's website and they are unlikely to read your comments here. Most TVs have a button on the remote to activate subtitles. Check the manual or post the make and model and someone on here may know.

Tim Jeanes: You should be able to get good reception of all the HD channels from either Mendip or Wenvoe at your location. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? What signal strength and quality readings do you get for the SD and HD channels?

Keith Cunliffe : COM7 & COM8 are moving to UHF 55 & 56 across all transmitters that broadcast them (this change will take place at Sutton Coldfield on 7th March 2018) where they will remain until some time between mid-2020 and 2022 (no closure date has been announced but 2022 is believed to be the latest possible). The Sutton Coldfield local mux will move from UHF 51 to 48 with a duplicate on 36 on 7th March 2018 (these will presumably be broadcasting with different radiation patterns). All this information is coming from Digital UK's coverage checker (link below) - enter a postcode and tick the detailed view box to see full transmitter details.
