Below are all of StevensOnln1's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Iftekhar Mishu : A check on your postcode shows that you should be able to receive the Leeds local multiplex from Emley Moor which carries Tiny Pop. Go to the manual tuning option in your TV's settings menu and select C56 and wait a few seconds for signal strength and quality readings to appear. If these are stable and the quality is high enough, selecting the option to scan/add channels from this frequency should result in Tiny Pop being stored on channel 126.

Jenkins: This website has no connection with True Movies or any other channel, so we've had nothing to do with the changes. I would suggest you make your feelings know to the broadcaster, as they're the only people who can do anything to change the situation.

Betamax_man: I've noticed the same over the last few days, all of the coverage maps seem to be broken. Hopefully Briantist can find the cause and get them working again.

Brigid Craig: What do you mean by channel 46? If you mean Challenge TV, that has nothing to do with BBC Red Button.

Mark Cowmeadow: Motorway gantries aren't going to affect reception unless they are directly in line between your aerial and the transmitter. It is far more likely that your aerial system has deteriorated rather than there being anything wrong with the transmitter. The last engineering notification for Bromsgrove transmitter was back in October so there hasn't been any work taking place since then.

Glenn Beavers: This is not the website of That's Lancashire, you can contact the channel via their website That's Lancashire . This is an independent website for technical help with TV and radio reception problems and has no connection with any broadcaster.

Katie: I've been seeing the same for the last few days on all the maps I've looked at, so something appears to have broken on the site. Hopefully Briantist can find the cause and get the maps working again.

David Roberts: RTE, TV3 and TG4 only hold the rights to broadcast most of their programs in Ireland, which is why they are encrypted on satellite and not available in Great Britain. The situation is different in Northern Ireland where some of the Irish channels were made available on Freeview and Sky as part of the Good Friday Agreement. It isn't as simple as being on a spot beam, it would cost the Irish broadcasters a huge amount more in rights fees to broadcast outside of Ireland. The BBC have commercial deals with Sky and Virgin Media Ireland for the NI versions of their channels to be made available in the Republic of Ireland. RTE Radio 1 on long wave has been extended until 2019, by which time RTE are hoping to have a DAB service available in areas of the UK with a large Irish population.

MikeP: I get an overlay if I select a transmitter on a map such as Freeview HD extended service from 2014 (com7) which shows multiple transmitters, but if I click through to a transmitter page such as Which Freeview channels does the Sutton Coldfield transmitter broadcast? I get the transmitter icon in the centre of the map but with no overlays and the box to select which multiplex to show the overlay for is not shown at the top left of the map. I'm seeing the same results in Firefox 52 on Linux, Firefox 52 on Windows 7 and IE11 on Windows 7.

Robert Eastlake: Why would the Irish Government or RTE want to rescue a commercial TV station? Someone would have bought the channel as a whole and kept it on air if it made commercial sense to do so. It has nothing to do with big businesses closing anyone out, just commercial reality that the business plan for Irish TV didn't work (probably because they weren't getting enough viewers and therefore couldn't attract enough advertisers to fund the station and run it at a profit).
