hello.
The Arrochar transmitter has recently been switched to digital. I must say that I am very disappointed in the selection of channels that the commercial companies have put on the air. Are there any other radio channels except the BBC ones? I cannot find any mention of additional channels anywhere on the 'net'
Perhaps my aerial needs adjusting.

Bill Thompson: Sorry, but you are only able to get the "Freeview Light" service using an aerial, because of your location.
If you want more channels, you will need to use Freesat - see Compare Freeview and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and All about Freesat | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
