denise miller: There was a frequency change at the Kirkconnel transmitter on 19th September. If you haven't already done so you will need to retune. If that doesn't restore your channels, you should contact the Freeview Advice Line (see link below).

Maria Meskell: If you mean the channel named Irish TV, it closed last year. If you mean Irish channels (e.g. RTE, TG4, etc) they are available terrestrially in much of Northern Ireland. None are available Free To Air on satellite.

John Irvine: There are no faults showing. What do you mean by commercial transmitter? All terrestrial TV transmitters in the UK broadcast Freeview channels.

Mike Hahn: Every transmitter in the UK (over 1000+ of them) broadcasts HD channels. BBC News HD is on the temporary COM7 multiplex which is available (along with COM8) from 30 main transmitters covering around 70% of UK households and will not be added to any further transmitters and is expected to close in 2022. Depending on your exact location (please provide a full postcode) you may be able to receive COM7 from another transmitter (e.g. Crystal Palace). Alternatively BBC News HD (and all of the BBC's other HD channels) are available free to air on satellite, or online via iPlayer.

Ian Hendry: COM4 is now on UHF channel 29 which is the lowest frequency currently used at Oxford. It's likely that you're using an older grouped aerial which is not designed to pick up the lower part of the UHF band. If you already have an 800MHz filter then AT800 won't be able to help (in any case 800MHz interference wouldn't affect lower frequencies anyway). If you don't have satellite or cable you should be eligible to have a replacement wideband aerial fitted free of charge, which can be arranged by contacting the Freeview Advice Line (see link below) although you may be too late at the frequency changes at Oxford took place more than 3 months ago.

Ian Hendry: Group K covers the whole range of frequencies that will be used for Freeview following the completion of the 700MHz clearance. Group A and Group B are separate aerial groups with a small overlap between the top of Group A and the bottom of Group B. An aerial that covers both Groups A & B would effectively be a Group K.

Trevor Jones: Have you retuned since the frequency changes at the Black Hill transmitter on 5th September?
