Paul Bentley:

Some parts of your area will not have good of COM7 which carries HD. Do you still have the problem, it could have been a temporary issue? I can't find any faults currently listed.

At time of posting, there's no issue with the signal's source - just checked my reception (not Emley) - please provide a full postcode so we can look at predicted reception in your locale.

Depending on predicted reception, if you still have the problem, it may entirely be due to Planned as mentioned in the post just before yours - do you have the same problem with on 107?
