Stephen Thomason:
It should be, those 3 are on the Local multiplex which is beamed towards the Middlesbrough area, so unless you are in that direction, you may not get it.
Do you get a Local news channel at LCN 7 or 8 and/or HorrorXtra at LCN69 ?
If not, you aren't getting the Local mux, try a MANUAL tune for it on UHF C30 from Bilsdale, you may get a weaker signal (otherwise if you give a full postcode, we could look at the predictions).
