Richard Wood: Which stations are you listening to? I've had DAB in my car for a few years now and have found coverage of the BBC national stations and stations on the D1 National commercial multiplex to be very good (I don't regularly listen to any stations on the SDL National commercial mux).

SteveK: There isn't any space on Freeview currently for more HD channels. If further multiplexes are switched to the DVB-T2 standard it will create additional space which could be used for more HD channels, as well as extending the coverage of some of the existing HD channels, however nothing has been announced regarding when (or if) that will happen.

denis campbell: The NI mux is broadcast using QSPK modulation, which gives the equivalent coverage to the main multiplexes, but uses less power as it is a more robust transmission mode. The trade off is that there is only enough space for 3 or 4 channels, whereas the main commercial multiplexes all carry at least 15 channels.

Peter Lawrence: Unfortunately there are quite a few erroneous transmitter locations shown on this website (some are even incorrectly placed in the middle of the sea). The owner of this website hasn't been able to keep up with all of the changes from the 700MHz frequency clearance programme, so don't hold your breath for any corrections.

Brian Addison: There have been no recent changes at Sudbury, the only recent frequency changes have been in the north of England. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind each TV? As you have multiple TVs, have you checked the splitter or amplifier that distributes the signal from the aerial? It may be that something has been damaged by the recent bad weather. If you provide a full postcode we can check what your predicted signal strength is and whether you may have inadvertently picked up a weaker signal from a different transmitter when you retuned.

Simon Cole: BBC Four HD is still broadcast from Rowridge on the COM7 multiplex on UHF channel 55. COM7 is due to close within the next 2 years (no date has yet been announced) and there has been no announcement regarding what will happen to BBC Four HD. There has been no announcement of any regional version of BBC One HD being launched in England, mainly due to the cost not just of equipping all of the regional studios for HD broadcasting, but also the cost of having to get each different region to the correct transmitters and the additional capacity required to make them available on satellite.

Anne Mason: Try contacting the broadcaster, they are unlikely to see your comment here as this isn't their website.

steve: If you have a TV with a DVB-T2 tuner (most will have a Freeview HD or Freeview Play logo) you will find BBC1 HD on 101, BBC2 HD on 102, CBBC HD on 204 and if you are within the coverage of the additional HD channels you may also find BBC Four HD on 106, BBC News HD on 107 and CBeebies HD on 205.
What makes you think that not having 5G will cause you to loose channels later this year? 5G is being used to provide the next generation of mobile data services, it is not replacing any part of Freeview any time soon. All of the frequency changes for the 700MHz clearance programme have now been completed, so you will continue to receive all of the channels you get now (unless any close or choose to reduce their coverage).
