edward healy: Try disconnecting the TV from the mains for about 30 secs or so before reconnecting it again then selecting to carry out a "factory reset" on it, this also known as "default setting" or "first time installation".

Notice a change to the transmitter last week! There is a change on what can be seen on the tv relay but don't think new channels etc has been added! I have post a picture via Twitter if people want to see it! There used to be an aerial attached to the aerial but I can not see that now from where I live as we have a great view of tv transmitter

Ian Gault:

No Freeview Light transmitter such as Allesley Park is ever likely to be upgraded to add the COM (commercial) multiplexes.

It is simply that the commercial operators who are responsible for the multiplexes which are not transmitted by small relays, do not think that the investment in extra transmitters etc is worth it for the small communities involved, they would not see a return on the investment considering that it's the advertising revenue that has to pay for it. If you were to contact all the commercial broadcasters involved, they would likely say well, its all there (well most of it is and extra) on Freesat. If you want extra channels and are unable to receive a main transmitter, the consider Freesat. A lot of modern TVs already have a satellite tuner built-in, so all you need is a Disn and LNB.

Can you not receive any signals from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter in your location?
If you provide a full postcode we might be able to check if it's a possibility using the Detailed Coverage Checker.
