Roger Shrimpton: No, this isn't likely as the Commercial broadcasters don't wish to pay for it because they don't see it as worth their while. See here for an explanation:

Londonderry (Northern Ireland) transmitter | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice

The only question to ask is are you in a location that could receive the full service from a like ?

As a sample, I took a postcode near to the Community College and the from UK for from Caradon Hill was excellent.

I believe that if you have BT Infinity then there is a way that you can watch the BT Sport via it, although you will have to ask BT.

We lost from Sunday evening to Tuesday. What could be the cause? The signal loss was through all tvs to differing degrees. The external is only about 4 yrs old and from a visual inspection from the ground appears ok. The same thing happened about 5-6 wks ago and the siganl loss lasted for about 4 days that time. It is very frustarting! Thanks in advance for any.

Vicky: If all your TV's come off the same , then its likely to be your system at fault. None of your possible transmitters are offline (although is having work).

Although the aerial looks fine, it could be a splitter, loose , etc. For instance, if you get a lot of rain suddenly, a loose or damaged cable could have a problem with water, then dry out over a number of days and be OK again, until the next rain comes..

If you can follow the cable to the source of the problem, great, but I suspect this needs a professional.

Any advice as to why our two Sony TVs, both fed by the same external , show different BBC1 local news programmes? We get Midlands on one TV & East Midlands on the other. Living in we obviously want East Midlands on both.

Terry: Because at least one is tuned to "another" , perhaps one to which the doesn't face. The solution, therefore, is to have the one showing Midlands tuned to the correct transmitter which will also reduce the possility of poor caused by the signal received being off-beam of the aerial's direction.

Which transmitter is your aerial pointing to - (Kimberley) or ?

In and we now only have 20 TV from before last weekend 90+ TV channels . . . if I had to guess I would say Sandy Heath is on reduced due to the work, does anybody know where you can get more detailed info from about whats happening at Sandy Heath?, is anybody else in the area having the same troubles?

Roger: Your previous post had someone also on reply to it, and they said there was no problems. I would suggest if you want to check if there's any problems in your area, that you ask any neighbours who are also on Freeview.

When you say you only have 20 , do you mean the other 70 are not in the guide, or they are just do they just break up if you select the channel?
