gordon macintyre: The most likley explanation for your problem is that there is a connection problem to your FM receiver.
FM is broadcast as "joint stereo", which basically means it is first a "mono" service and then has a separate "left and right plus carrier" added to it.
To test to see if the problem is reception or connection one, select "mono" on your receiver. If that makes the output come out of both speakers equally then there is a problem with the transmission.

woodface: Another issue is that there are still large parts the UK where you will not be able to receive Freeview HD until next year, which makes marketing the service somewhat troublesome.
As you can still buy a great many "HD Ready" sets which have Freeview but not Freeview HD, I suspect a great many of the sets sold will be for Freeview HD use, as you can get cheaper sets for use with Sky, Virgin etc.

David Harold Constantine: No, do not move your dish. As a digital service the signal quality cannot effect the picture. Please see How digital television works | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Duncan: There is a site dedicated to the old system - Rediffusion Wired Vision System has some details of how the system was adapted for the addition of extra channels over the years.
"Carrier frequencies were changed to 5.9 MHz and 8.9 MHz so that several 625 line programmes could be distributed on the network.
By the early 1970's most networks were distributing at least BBC.1, BBC.2 and 1TA on 625-lines in colour and the problems associated with BBC.2 now equally apply to the other channels"
