Byron Weston:
No known problem with Mendip (at the time of writing), I'm on that and have no problems at present. The thunder storm may have caused problems with aerial amplifiers or water may have entered the coaxial cables from your aerial.
Check with neighbours to see if they have problems as well, but make sure they are talking about Freeview from Mendip and not any other transmitter and not about Freesat with a dish instead of an aerial.

Hello,
We are anretirement complex in Bewdley, DY12 1AZ. Our residents dont think they are getting many free view channels compared to others. Is there anything we can do to make this better.

Kind regards.
Karen Ellis.

BT Sport have offered free viewing for 2 weeks for Freeview customers. Followed instructions and tried manual tune ch57 to no avail - is there a reason BT have replied asking a couple of questions which I answered but no reply.Can you help I was going to subscribe to BT B/band so can view BT sport for nothing but if I can't receive it in my area there is no point - would be easier to get Sky bundle

Why am I unable to get BT Sport with Freeview - BT offering 2 wks free viewing for people with Freeview BT/TV & Virgin Media I manually tried to retune using ch57 as BTSport advised & after 3 attempts gave up BT have not replied to explain why I couldn't receive BT Sport..I was going to change to BT broadband so I could view BTSport for free but now unsure if I can't get it.I know ST13 6QF is in a light transmitter area is this why.Can you help?

Linda Dale: BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 2 are carried on one of the Commercial (COM) DTT multiplexes and therefore are not available from the Leek transmitter.

You may find that BT will allow you to view these services via the broadband connection, although I guess it might require this to be BT Infinity. You will have to enquire about this as I don't know for certain.

Linda Dale:I'm not sure why BT would tell you to manual tune to C57, as that number is the position in the channel list when you have already stored BT sports. Try a manual tune for C41, the frequency for the SDN mux from The Wrekin to see if there is any signal present. Unless you have local obstructions in the signal path you are predicted to have good reception on all muxes from THe Wrekin, that is of course when using a suitable aerial ie Group K mounted for horizontal polarisation.

Have no problem with any channel except Film4. Using Ridge Hill I have good strength indicated and EPG but nothing else. My parents in same area and neighbours have the same problem. Have tried several different sets and done full retune, to no avail. Have to watch +1 to see films. GL519TB
