Is there any chance that we could have ITV3 transmitted from Dog Hill Please.

Elizabeth Johnson: The Commercial (COM) channels, which carry ITV3 among other services, are never likely to broadcast from Dog Hill. See here for an explanation:
Londonderry (Northern Ireland) digital TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice
Freesat will give you ITV3 or you may find that reception from Winter Hill or another transmitter that carries the COM channels is possible at your location.
