I cannot receive ITV3 in Arisaig. When will this be possible?

Hugh Monro: As far as we know, never. Basically, the commercial multiplex operators - ITV3 is carried on the COM4/SDN multiplex - have decided it's too expensive to transmit from all the relays, and concentrated only on the 81 sites that they broadcast from before switchover.
Please see 'Freeview Light' for more details.
