rachel: If it says at the top of the page 'there are no reported problems', then its likely to be your system at fault. Start by checking cables and connections.

Looks like there is an issue on Belmont as we've lost everything on C35 (586.0MHz) DVB-T2

James:
Very unlikely to be a problem at Belmont, a main transmitter covering many thousands of homes.
It is more likely to be a connection problem with your system. Check all the aerial connections behind the TV by unplugging, checking visually and then reassembling correctly. Many problems like those you report are due to poor connections in the cabling.

Hi I am 76 and not technical. I thought I could watch Eurosport 1 and 2 and also National Geographic. I live in Skegness PE25 2TJ I can't get them and don't know why. Can you tell me why? or how I can get them. I felt sure they were free view. Desperate to watch ice Skating and I know I used to get it on my TV. How can I see Ice Skating on Eurosport 1 and 2?

Glennis Rogerson: Eurosport and National Geographic are pay channels and are therefore not available on Freeview.

Mr Paul Fearn : Your signal strength is predicted to be weak from Belmont for most multiplexes, with no better alternative transmitter. You would probably be better off looking at Freesat.

I think it's quite unreasonable to pay an extortionate price for a TV licence when I have to rely on a very poor signal from a transmitter 60 miles away. If I have freesat then all my recording equipment will be useless. We should have a reasonable signal provided.

Mr Paul Fearn : So you're expecting a whole new transmitter to be built for 150 per year? The BBC and ITV setup Freesat specifically for situations like this where a good terrestrial signal isn't available.

Mr Paul Fearn : You live where you live, and the BBC does it's best to get you a full range of its services. But that's life. OK, don't get Freesat, but there won't be any more transmitters in your area, so Freesat is the best alternative. Its your choice.
