Viv Grainger: This website doesn't have any channels and has nothing to do with running any channel or transmitter. If you mean when will more channels be added to the transmitter, then there are no plans to add any further channels to any lite transmitters such as Barton House. If you provide a full postcode we can access the coverage checker and see whether any other transmitters are available at your location.

karen jones: W (formerly Watch) is a subscription channel and is not available on Freeview.

Geoff Petto: Talking Pictures (Freeview channel 81) have announced that they will be moving to the COM6 multiplex on 30th November and will therefore be available from Midhurst from then onwards.
Vintage TV (channel 82) have not announced any plans to move from COM7, which along with COM8 is a temporary multiplex available from 30 main transmitters covering around 75% of UK households and is due to close in 2020 (with a possible extension until 2022). COM7/8 will not be added to any further transmitters.

John Dickson: Have you checked which UHF channel you're receiving Freesports on the box with weak signal? Most receivers have a manual tuning option in the menu. COM8 from Bluebell Hill is on UHF C34 whereas Crystal Palace is on C35.

RDD: What signal strength do you get if you bypass the DVR and connect the aerial feed from the amp directly to the TV? Check the menu on the DVR, there may be an option to reduce the gain from the built in amplifier. Failing that, try a 3dB attenuator such as the one linked below (get a 6dB at the same time in case 3dB isn't enough).

Tony Moss: There are not faults or engineering work showing. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so we can access the coverage prediction for your location.

Col: Retuning was a bad idea as you've now deleted the missing channels, making it much harder to know when the problem is fixed. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? What signal strength and quality are you seeing on other multiplexes?

Col: Those strength readings are very high so you may well be suffering with signal overload (see article "too much of a good thing" on this website). Try fitting an attenuator such as the one linked below to reduce your signal strength (I would buy the 6dB version too in case 3dB isn't enough) then carry out a manual scan from the TV's menu on UHF C31.

Bren: COM6 is broadcast using DVB-T (exactly the same as COM4 & COM5). It is not DVB-T2 and does not require a HD receiver. Are you sure that you're scanning C57 from Waltham and not PSB3 on C58?
Also, the Nottingham transmitter is not being switched off next year (nor are any others). Nottingham is due to change broadcast frequencies as part of the 700MHz clearance in the first calendar quarter of 2018, however the new frequency allocations don't appear to have been confirmed yet (hence the new allocations are not shown on the Nottingham transmitter page).

R F Thompson: This is not Pick's website and I doubt any broadcaster would send you a free DVD of a programme they've shown. From a quick search on Google, I've found a DVD on the web store of Andre Rieu's official website titled "Dancing through the skies" which was filmed at the Semper Opera in Dresden (see link below) priced at 23.50 Euros which may be the concert you're looking for.
