James McCusker: Carnmoney Hill is a lite transmitter intended to fill gaps in the coverage area of Divis. If you provide a full postcode we can see whether you might be able to change your aerial to receive the full range of channels from Divis.

Philat29: COM7 & COM8 moved to UHF channels 55 & 56 last year at Ridge Hill where they will stay until they close (expected to be by the end of 2022). 32 & 34 are the old allocations. Digital UK don't show any further frequency changes planned for Ridge Hill.

Lizzymint: Your TV licence is a licence to receive TV broadcasts, it is not a subscription and does not entitle you to receive any particular channels. I assume you're talking about the Divis transmitter (there isn't one called Division that I'm aware of). If you provide a full postcode we can see what reception is predicted at your location and offer further advice.

Tony Collins: If it's happening at the same time every day, the most likely explanation is that something operating on a timer in your home (or a near neighbour) is causing electrical interference.

Philat29: The channel allocation above is incorrectly showing both the old and current frequencies for COM7 & COM8 - see the Digital UK checker for correct allocations. Digital UK show no further changes planned for Ridge Hill and COM7/8 will not move to new allocations. UHF channels 55 and 56 form the centre gap of the new 700 MHz 5G band which is not expected to come into use immediately 2020. Ofcom previously announced a plan to allow COM7 & COM8 to continue broadcasting beyond 2020 by moving to the 700MHz centre gap and forming Single Frequency Networks (SFNs) so that the same UHF channels can be reused by all transmitters which broadcast COM7/8. The 700 MHz centre gap is to be allocated as additional mobile downlink capacity and is not expected to come into use by the mobile networks until a later date, at which point COM7 & COM8 will close. Further details can be found on Ofcom's website at the link below.

Peter Cole: As per other posts above, COM7 & COM8 (which carries BBC Four HD) closed at Beacon Hill last week. COM7 & COM8 are temporary multiplexes and will close at all transmitters over the next few years.

kathy ball: Try asking the channel, this website is intended for technical help with TV and radio reception problems and has no connection with any broadcaster.

Andrew: The cost would be millions. Can you name any other broadcaster in Europe that produces 17 different regional versions of it's main channel to compare against? I'm not sure what you mean by full time satellite? Both the SD and HD versions of BBC1 are broadcast from every Freeview transmitter and it's a simple channel change to switch between them.
