The symbol shows the location of the Angus (Dundee City, Scotland) transmitter which serves 130,000 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Angus (Dundee City, Scotland) mast?

Following the change of frequency last month I have followed all the instructions properly to reset our 3 Freeview TVs and a Freeview Recorder. All of the channels have good signal qualities and strength except for all those under C49 (the ArqB group Film 4, Yesterday ITV4 etc.). These channels have good signal strength but very poor signal quality and break up all the time. Is this a temporary problem and will sort itself through time or is further action required.

Hi, I used to live in Ph1 2qe. I recently moved to Ph1 5sq. Since doing so I have lost a lot of free view channels like E4+1, Film4+1, Dave, Pick. Is there anyway I can get these back? I have reset tv(built in free view) several times but has made no difference.

Laura Campbell: Probably not.

Thee is a two-tier terrestrian television transmittter network. The Commercial (COM) channels, which are those which you can now no longer receive achieve coverage of about 90% of the population whereas the Public Service Broadcaster (PSB) channel serve about 98.5% of the population, them having a requirement to provide a public service, as their name implies. The COM networks have no such obligation.

Because Perth is in a valley you are unlikely to be able to receive the full complement of channels from the Angus transmitter. I see you reside in a block of flats. If you are using a communal aerial system then it is beyond your control.

The Freesat route would give you other channels, although Dave, Yesterday and others aren't available. This is because they are only carried on satellite via Sky's subscription platform.
