Can someone advise why in 2018 the Auchmore Wood transmitter is only able to offer a restricted amount of Freeview channels. In Conon Bridge we received 20 TV Channels, 6 HD Channels and 13 radio stations. We moved from Maryburgh, one mile away, a few years ago and there they receive signals from Rosemarkie transmitter which provides 77 TV Channels, 6 HD Channels and 29 radio stations. Quite a difference. When is Auchmore to be upgraded?

L MacLachlan: Its not. Its a Light transmitter, and the commercial broadcasters dont think the cost of using it is worth it. See Steven's answer to a similar question here: I can't get Freeview yet, when will it start in my area?

We have lived in Conon Bridge since 2005 and have used Auchmore. The service and signal has been poor over the years, in spite of using a large aerial high on the chimney. Some days the signal was so bad, it was unusable. In 2016 the aerial was blown away & replaced with a smaller one, with a strong steel mast, the signal was slightly weaker. A few months later our Sky satellite disk failed & was replaced, at the same time we asked the engineer to turn our terrestrial aerial from Auchmore to Rosemarie. To everyone's surprise this provided a satisfactory signal for the main channels (unlike Auchmore) but the others were poor. We have continued to use this but have supplemented it with Freesat using a Humax recorder which we think is excellent and better than Sky. Hope this helps.
