gtibb: I am tuned to Bedmond as the Crystal Pace signal is to weak. As I have read on your site, BBC4 HD is not available. Will it ever become from Bedmond? My current problem is that both my HD Freeview TV and HD Freeview recorder both keep saying I should retune, but no new channels appear to be there. Is it something to do with Crystal Palace as it is almost in line with Bedmond from where I live?

Anthony Denyer: It isn't likely. The plan for the new quasi-national HD multiplexes (one of which carries BBC Four HD) is for 30 transmitters only. This isn't likely to change until the end of 2018 at the earliest.
