Hi, we live in NE Derbyshire and pick up the signal from the Hundall mast, but we get TV covering Yorkshire! Why is it that we don't get East Midlands Today on the BBC instead of Look North which is irrelevant to us? Thanks

Please provide a full post code so that we can look at which transmitters are potentially available to you. There could be many reasons why your are getting Yorkshire and not East Midlands services.

Ben Johnson: There doesn't seem to be a transmitter called Hundall listed, but if you mean the Chesterfield transmitter which you have posted under, it broadcasts both the BBC and ITV Yorkshire regions, not East Midlands.
