Grace : Yes, its really a case of wait and see, as the reality of the situation as far as the levels expected from these stations can be quite different from that forecast on the predictor, which by the way can be viewed by clicking on "G's DigitalUK tradeview" seen in the blue selection box on the right hand side of your posting.

You can presently get a rough idea of whether or not is likely to be an option by carrying out the manual tune (as described in my reply) by checking for a signal from the lowest mux used by the , Panasonic menu systems being ideal for tests of this sort.

Press: menu / set up / DVB tuning / manual tuning, then pressing "up or down" on the large centre button on the remote control until you see selected, hesitating for 30 secs or so to see if anything is indicated in the strength / bars before moving on to .

The reason for the test using Beacon Hills lower channel numbers is because the you are presently using for reception of is likely to be group A which will be inefficient for the reception of Beacon Hills higher channels, although if signals of any significant level are received from Beacon Hill then you "might" be able to pick up its COM7 on which "is" in the same group as used by Stockland Hill.

The aforementioned is purely for test purposes.

I have moved from to and have built in on my (new) HD tv. But since the move i have lost over half of the freeview and the guide menu is out of sync. I have tried re-tuning but with no joy. I've heard parts of skipton have bad freeview , is this true?

Lizzy: Unfortunately that would appear to be the case, as a quick tour around the rooftops in and around your area reveals a series of "vertically" mounted aerials facing the - light - PSB only transmitter, although in some cases further away from your particular location pointing towards Skipton or Freeview - light transmitters.

The reason for highlighting "vertical" being, that most aerials used for from full service transmitters such as as was previously used when you resided in (but not now receivable) use horizontally mounted aerials, none of seen on any rooftops anywhere near to your location.

Lizzy: I doubt you'll be able to receive the Commercial (COM) at your location. Due to the terrain in the area there a number of transmitters that don't carry the COM channels.

Judging by Google Streetview photos you are likely to be using Skipton or transmitter. Due to the fact that you are very low-lying you aren't able to receive the full service directly from .

I've started receiving the HD from BBCB again, but I'm still not receiving any of the HD channels from COM such as BBC 4 HD and BBC News HD.

Has anyone else spotted problems with information from UK? I live in North London, N6 5SQ and like most of my neighbours use for free view. Yet DUK state AP offers a poor and the best transmitter for my area is , but this transmitter has always been marred by problems with ghosting and reflections.
Second point, I have a free sat box for the extra AP doesn't provide. Disappointed that the new London live channel isn't on AP or free sat.
Does anyone know if it is included in the free sat from package? I don't want to pay for TV but know that Sky and Virgin offer London live for a charge for viewers not able to use Crystal Palace.
