Below are all of StevensOnln1's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.D Davies: I'm assuming that you're receiving the Mendip transmitter (TA1 covers a wide area and does not allow me to see a coverage prediction for your location). The channels you mention are all broadcast on the COM5 multiplex which recently moved to UHF channel 33, which is outside the frequency range that a Group C/D aerial (which you likely have) is designed to receive. If you don't have satellite or cable you should be entitled to have a free replacement wideband aerial fitted, which can be arranged by contacting the Freeview Advice Line (see link below).

Arthur Paine: Those channels have never been broadcast from the Newhaven transmitter. You will have been getting them from from another transmitter, possibly Whitehawk Hill which underwent some frequency changes on 14th March. Please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted coverage and offer further advice.

Jim: BBC Four HD is on COM8 (it moved earlier this year) not COM7. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see your predicted coverage.

Nigel: Please provide a full postcode so that we can see which transmitter you're using, where you are in relation to it and your predicted coverage etc.

R Murchie: How exactly is it poor behaviour when the money raised from the spectrum will repay the cost of providing free replacement aerials to affected households? If you only have Freeview you aren't being expected to pay for a new aerial.

Lesley: If the box supports Freeview HD then it should be able to receive any HD channels, providing the signal is there of course.

Gordon Hayes: As per my reply to your post a few days ago, we need a full postcode.

Chris Warner: Freesports is available from Crystal Palace, although putting the postcode from one of your previous posts into the Digital UK trade checker shows that COM8 is predicted to be weak at your location. It is not broadcast from the Guildford transmitter.
