How can I find out which transmitter I am using from info from my TV? I thought I was using Hollington Park but I get RT perfectly. From my house Heathfield is at 299 deg.but as I have no compass I cannot be sure it's that one.
I may be in line of sight of the Bexhill one but I get no signal from there!
Any help please.
