Alan Clerk:
Once again? When was the transmitter down recently/previously?
There was Planned Engineering the last week of August and the 1st week of September when the transmitter would have not been off air continuously although there may have been an odd day when it could have been off for a few hours during that period. I can't find any other reports of problems or issues.
Carno is a Freeview "Light" transmitter which only broadcasts the PSB multiplexes and doesn't broadcast the 3 COM multiplexes as you point out. This is normally because the commercial broadcasters don't consider it commercially viable to pay for the extra equipment needed etc due to the small number of households covered by the transmitter..
Perhaps you should consider getting Freesat for a much wider choice of channels. A lot of modern sets have built in satellite tuners so all you would need is a Dish and LNB.
