I see that when ITV1+1 started a couple of weeks ago, it was added to the line-up of channels transmitted through Castle Hill (Glossop), but at the expense of ITV2+1. I'd rather ITV gave us ITV3 or ITV4 instead of a channel we already get with a 1 hour delay. It would also be preferable to get something other than C4+1, like Film 4!
Is there any physical reason to prevent the broadcasters giving us these channels? Does it take up less bandwidth to transmit a +1 channel than it does a whole other channel? If not, is there someone we can lobby for a change? I'm sure many people in Glossop would appreciate an extra channel or two.

Jonathan: Sorry, but ITV1+1 has to go on the PSB2 multiplex. ITV1+1 11 January 2011 (at last) | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
The commercial multiplex operators regard this transmitter as unprofitable and declined the offer of frequencies to broadcast from it.

Will the Glossop transmitter ever improve the Freeview or DAB radio service anytime soon?

John: There will be no additional Freeview services. Glossop is not a DAB transmitter.

We live at 9 The Rushes, Hadfield Glossop SK132EU,and we have a roof aerial pointing to castle hill transmitter, would a HD Box be any good or must we wait for a transmitter upgrade.
Thanking you in this matter.

Hi I wonder if anyone can help? I have replaced my old analogue aerial with a wide band aerial(on the roof)because I could not receive the BBC radio channels. I still can't receive the BBC radio channels. The TV channels are fine, are the radio channels at a lower power? Do I need a high gain aerial? Or would I be better to point towards Winter Hill (new aerial required)
