I've just spotted on another website that it does appear to be possible to link directly to the results of the detailed coverage checker on the Freeview Corporate website, simply by appending ?postcode= followed by the actual postcode. As an example, the link below goes direct to the detailed coverage results for Broadcasting House in London. Perhaps @Briantist could update the links currently pointing to the old Digital UK Trade Checker (which just redirects to the Freeview Corporate homepage) at some point.

Paul Mitchell: Wheeler Dealers is on Quest (Freeview channel 12). If it isn't already appearing in the channel list on your TV, please provide a full postcode so we can check if it's available from a transmitter which covers your location.

Nicholas Anderson: BBC Four programmes will continue to be available on iPlayer so it will be available to watch any time you like and all new programming is already moving to BBC 2.

Robert: Forces TV is run by BFBS who are a charity. If they can find enough budget then they could take some of the currently available capacity on another multiplex when COM7 closes next month, or they could launch an online service which may well be more cost effective. There's also no indication that they will close on Sky/Freesat, which they have been broadcasting on since long before they joined Freeview.

andrew dobson: This Is The Coast is broadcast using DAB+ so if your radio isn't DAB+ capable it won't be able to receive it anywhere. Can you receive BBC Radio York, which is broadcast in standard DAB on the North Yorkshire mux alongside This Is The Coast?

The BBC have announced that BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD will move to the PSB3 multiplex when COM7 closes at the end of June, which should increase coverage by making these channels available in HD from every transmitter. BBC News HD will close on Freeview but remain available in SD. No exact date has been announced yet for any changes to take place.

David Smith: There are currently engineering works taking place at Sutton Coldfield, so the transmitter may be operating on reduced power output whilst the work is taking place. It's worth checking for simple problems like loose cables and connections behind your TV, but don't attempt to retune as this will just delete your tuning data and search for the same signal again. Chances are it will be fine again once the work is complete.

Dave: The last frequency changes for the 700MHz clearance took place a couple of years ago. If you provide a full postcode we can check what you're predicted to get at your location. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?
