Neil Williams: As the Freeview HD service is coming out of the same transmitter elements as the Channel 5 analogue, you might want to find out why the analogue signal is ghosting.

Laura Trowbridge: What is the make and model of the TV set? It would be very strange for it not to have a single SCART input.
You will not get a good picture without the SCART connection.

Neil Williams: When you say your aerial is "aligned properly", I would expect you mean to Sutton Coldfield, and not Lichfield.
This would explain the ghosting on analogue Channel 5.
"exceptionally high" signal readings are not a good sign either, this could indicate an overload for digital signals.

Bizman: Stockland Hill is certainly not a "relay station", it is a full service, full power Freeview transmitter.

Laura Trowbridge: Yes, you need to use that. Immerse yourself in the amazing High Definition colour and LED detail - 5800
40" LED TV - LED TV - Television | SAMSUNG says you have a SCART input on the rear.

Laura Trowbridge: You should have a "Slim Gender Cable: Component, Scart, Composite" in the box.

Dario: Yes, just plug a Freesat or Freesat HD box in. Takes a few minutes. See All free-to-watch channels | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for the list of channels.

Moco: Right, Llanrhaeadr-Ym-Mochnant is your only transmitter.
I'm afraid you won't get any more channels, and the situation will certainly not "will get upgraded, eventually".
This is a public service transmitter, and the commercial operators declined to operate from any of them. So, they will never carry the services you want.
I suggest you phone back BT and point this out to them and ask them why they are providing you with incorrect information.

kim davies: Sorry to hear that.
If you can locate the problem yourself, you probably need to call in a professional to find the source of the problem for you.

Allan: You must be able to access the Astra 2D satellite with the restricted footprint for the Sky box to work correctly.
Just having access to Astra 2A and 2B is not enough.
See the footprint diagram at the top of the page.
