pat lowe: Can you provide a full postcode please? Did you do a "first time installation"? Are you using a rooftop aerial?

Aerilman: The way it works at the moment is that for FM it takes the larger value from the H and V ones provided. If both values would be of interest I can import and display them both.

Steve Harris: Thanks very much for your post.
I did put the government consulation document, which is a PDF located at http://www.culture.gov.uk/images/consultations/Local-TV-Framework_July2011.pdf in the Newsbucket on Monday afternoon.
I was intending to go though it and write it up in the Local television - ukfree.tv section of UK Free TV.
There is also some coverage in that section of the available Freeview "interleaved" frequencies for local television on the Interleaved Frequencies maps - ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice.
To answer your question about the ownership of the multiplexes, rather than the actual local TV channels, I think the proposal is that MUXCO is a not-for-profit company that is backed by the BBC money.
This might be a reasonable idea, in so much as a single national not-for-profit company would have the "economies of scale" and access to Arqiva that lots of little companies would not have. If you already own the sites and equipment, as Arqiva do for the whole of the DTT network, adding in these extra local TV services would be much more cost effective, than having a multitude of local MUXCOs that would have to negotiate with Arqiva.
Personally I can't see the local TV system working without at least a few of the C31-C37 "DDR" frequencies being provided for local TV for those areas where the interleaved frequencies do not provide sufficient coverage.

Harold: Odd as it might sound, but you may have to strong a signal.
If you have a booster or amplifier in your system, try removing it.
It is hard to be specific without a full postcode.

U: European cable TV systems are not my strong point (I only know about fibre-optic!) but I'm guessing it's Ireland again?

Alan: I think the idea is that ITV1 analogue closes a few months early.
