Richard Sutton: High signal strength is most likely either down to interference or signal overload. Try fitting an attenuator to reduce the signal strength (somewhere around 75% signal strength will still give the tuner plenty of signal without causing it to become overloaded if that is what is happening).

B mears: Movies 4 Men has moved to the slot on the COM4 multiplex which is not available from transmitters in Wales. This decision was taken by Sony, who own Movies 4 Men and the True channels. It has nothing to do with 5G.

Chris.SE: I don't think Digital UK provide information on Irish transmitters. Does anyone know of any equivalent website for Saorview in Ireland?

A Lloyd: The title of this page is correct, it is a listing of all free to air TV channels available in the UK, along with their channel number on each channel where they are broadcast, it does not say anything to suggest that all channels can be received in all areas. The owner of this website has a huge task in keeping the channel and frequency listings up to date so perhaps people could show him some patience. There is a full listing of up to date channel numbers available from Digital UK (see link below) who are in charge of managing the Freeview platform. Together TV is due to change multiplex on 22nd July, when it will gain wider coverage and be available in Plymouth if you receive either the Caradon Hill or Plympton transmitters. The other channel numbers you list are on the temporary COM7 & COM8 multiplexes which are no longer broadcast from Caradon Hill and were never broadcast from Plympton.

J L Walker: You are not predicted to get good reception of a local TV multiplex at your postcode (the Digital UK checker suggests you may get some weak reception of the Oxford local mux), so any reception of True Entertainment or True Movies will be difficult.

Jennifer Stuart-Simpson: You're predicted to get a good signal from the Dover transmitter at your postcode (Heathfield which you've posted under is not predicted to give good coverage). Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? If its breaking up at the same times then you may well be suffering with electrical interference caused by something operating in your home (or somewhere nearby) at the those times.

Chris.SE: But Bart was asking about what will happen to Saorview in Donegal, which assuming they live there they won't have a postcode to enter into Digital UK, which wouldn't return any coverage or frequency data for a Saorview transmitter in the Republic of Ireland, nor will any data be available for coverage of a UK transmitter outside of the UK.

Dave Baker: COM7 & COM8 have closed at Caradon Hill last month and are no longer available anywhere in Devon or Cornwall.

Richard Sutton: The detailed listing above is incorrect for UHF channel 29, there are no other services on the PSB2west mux from Ridge Hill (this mux is an anomaly that this website doesn't appear to be coded to cope with and no other transmitter has anything like it that I'm aware of).
Have you actually checked your cables and connections or are you just assuming that there's nothing wrong? If everything else is showing 100% signal strength then you may well be suffering with signal overload on those 2 muxes. You could also be suffering from local interference, although that seems less likely if PSB1 on UHF channel 28 (BBC 1 SD, BBC 2 SD, etc) are fine.
