Leonard Router: Every transmitter broadcasts HD versions of BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV Channel 4, Channel 5 & CBBC. Is your TV a Freeview HD model? Many TV (particularly older ones) were sold as HD Ready or Full HD but do not have a DVB-T2 tuner which is required to view HD channels (if this is the case you can buy a Freeview HD box for under 50). If you provide a postcode we can see what signal strength should be at your location and offer further advice.

woodface: The DAB maps on this website haven't been updated since last year, after Ofcom published the coverage data for the SDL National multiplex AFAIK, so there are plenty of new transmitters (and power increases on some existing transmitters) which aren't shown on this website yet.

kelly: Please provide a postcode so we can see which transmitter you're receiving and where you are in relation to it.

Darren Eddom: This isn't the website of Forces TV and it's unlikely that anyone from the channel will see your message here. I would suggest contacting the broadcaster via their own website SSVC - The Services Sound and Vision Corporation

s worden: Retuning whilst you had a problem was a bad idea as you've now deleted all your channels which were tuned correctly leaving you with no way of knowing when the problem is fixed. Check all your cables and connectors between the TV and the aerial (as far as those which you can safely access) as the most likely explanation is that something is loose/disconnected or damaged.

Margaret smith: I couldn't work out from a quick search who/what Transfusion is but if it carries phone lines, you should contact BT Openreach (see Report damage to BT cables, poles, cabinets or manholes | BT If it carries power cables, you should contact the company responsible for electricity distribution in your area (they should be listed on the first few pages of The Phone Book or Yellow Pages if you still have a copy). If it is on your property, do you receive a wayleave payment for it? The wayleave paperwork will tell you who it belongs to. If neither of those are successful, your local council may have records of who it belongs to.

Ian: Please provide a full postcode so we can see the coverage prediction for your location. STV2 is a local TV channel and is only broadcast from a few transmitters that cover Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Ayr and the surrounding areas. It's also available via Sky on channel 117 in areas that receive STV on 103.

Larry Walker: There are no faults showing for Rosemarkie. According to your postcode data, you're only a few miles from the transmitter so it's quite likely that your TV is being overloaded with too much signal, which presents the same effect of have too little signal (digital tuners don't cope well with either too much or too little signal). If you have an amplifier either turn it down a bit (or try bypassing it if it can be safely accessed) or otherwise get an attenuator (such as the one linked below) and connect it to your aerial input to reduce the level of signal (you should be aiming for around 70%-85% signal strength).

David: STV2 is broadcast from Black Hill but only directionally towards Glasgow (there is a coverage map on the Black Hill transmitter page). If you provide a postcode, you'll be able to access a coverage prediction for your location which will show whether it should be available.

Paul Harrison: If you click on the cog in the top right corner of the page, it will take you to a page where you can enter your postcode which will enable you to see information relevant to your actual location. Geolocation services (I don't know which one this website uses) can never be 100% accurate and it is not uncommon for the location reported to be some distance away from your actual location when it is relying solely on your IP address rather than GPS data.
