Garry E Hunt: A building or vegetation which, when wet, causes you to loose stable reception maybe. Is one or more of those tall buildings in the way?

George: I think you're a little too far anti-clockwise to be able to get the local channel.

Glen Harnden: See pages on this site for C41, C44 and C47. Could it be The Wrekin, which is horizontally polarised, and a SFN with Lark Stone (which is vertically polarised)?

Bob Longhurst: It hasn't - Yesterday has never, and won't ever, be transmitted from Forest Row, and over 1,000 other similar "Freeview Lite" transmitters. I've set out the reasons for the two-tier terrestrial television transmitter network here: Londonderry (Northern Ireland) Freeview Light transmitter | ukfree.tv - 12 years of independent, free digital TV advice If you were receiving Yesterday via an aerial directed to the Forest Row transmitter then the signal was not coming from that transmitter. If you are in an area where you can receive from a full-service transmitter then in order to stand you in the best stead to receive the COM (Commercial) multiplexes (those which Forest Row doesn't carry) is to install an aerial directed to said transmitter. In the mean time you could try a manual scan of the UHF channels (frequencies) of the full-service transmitter you were picking up previously. Knowledge of your location, preferably in the form of postcode or that of a nearby property such as a shop, will allow some idea as to your options to be gained.

Kelvin Graham: Perhaps too high a signal level, although whether this "might" be a possibility isn't possible to suggest without any idea as to your location in relation to the transmitter you're using.

- My Freeview reception cuts out for about 1 second at non regular intervals. Coul | Help!

Dale: Refer to the full channel list from Digital UK:
Digital UK Industry - Channel listings
Pop+1 is carried on COM5 multiplex, which is available from Sandy Heath. However, "Pop" on LCN125 is only available on "L_SFD" (which is the local Sheffield multiplex) and "Local" multiplexes.
Therefore it doesn't look like Pop will be available from Sandy Heath.

John Hewett: If the "other radio stations" you refer to are the four BBC national ones then that's because they are on higher power so as to serve a much larger area - or to put it another way: they reach parts that they wouldn't had their power been lower.
