Freeview promised so many diverse channels in our area, in reality what did we get? not a great deal, where are the film channels, where is dave, gold, etc.
There were 4 analogue channels so we could have had 4 mux but no we got three and a pile of radio channels why?
Sky is fine, but then you need a box in every room, not a real solution...
not happy!

Ian: The government decided to release one-quarter of the frequency spectrum used for analogue. Ofcom decided they didn't have the power to force the three commercial operators to transmit from any new sites. I disagree, but there you are.
Ofcom are currently running a consultation on extending the duration of the Mux C and D licences, see Ofcom | Television Multiplex Licence Renewals . You have until the 18th of August to respond. Unfortunately they've already issued a new licence for Mux A.
Digital UK's predictor reckons you have a reasonable chance of getting the commercial multiplexes by pointing an aerial over the Pennines to Emley Moor, starting some time next year. Again, not too sure about that!

You may be able to get all the Freeview channels even though you're behind some hills where you are. Take a drive towards Whaley, on the right as you go past the Hanging Gate are a house & a bungalow, each with a big X beam high gain aerial & amp on the roof. Youll need something similar to be in with a chance. I live in Whaley & get all the channels. My outdoor, amplified Blake SR18CD is actually pointing towards Chinley Churn!. This is approx 90 degrees clockwise from the actual line between Winter Hill & my house. I got the aerial, amp & fittings from here A.T.V (Aerials And Television) TV Aerial, DAB Aerial, FM Aerial.
This site
Map of area between SK054807 and Hill
shows what is on a line between Winter Hill & the centre of Chapel (SK054807 is on Station Rd N). Hit back below the map to show the terrain blocking the line of sight. Theres a link there to take you to the main page to re-enter map co-ordinates for a more accurate fix.

Tried the terrain mapping feature on the "My Freeview" page but get the message "Your browser does not support the canvas element."
Tried changing the compatability view setting in IE8 but it made no difference. Does this error message mean I need to download some sort of plug-in to get the browser to display correctly?
Regards
Mick

Mick Dawn: You could download IE9 which does support it, there is no "HTM5" upgrade for IE8. Or use Chrome, Safari or Firefox...

If your aerial is vertically polarised facing Ladder Hill relay the answer is no you will not receive the new four seven (47) station on programme channel 47 on Freeview as this is carried on the ArqB multiplex on main transmitters and major relays only.
Ladder Hill is a freeview lite relay only broadcasting the PSB multiplexes BBCA,D3+4 and BBCB (HD) multiplexes (the latter only receivable via DVB-T2 tuners),it does not and will not never,ever broadcast COM multiplexes SDN,ArqA and ArqB multiplexes as such.The only way you can receive four seven (47) is to diplex your current vertically polarised Ladder Hill aimed aerial (group A relay,is it coloured red at its tips),with a second horizontally polarised aerial aimed either at Emley Moor (yellow tipped group B),or again polarised horizontally aimed at Winter Hill (either green tipped group C/D or brown tipped semi-wideband group E aerial).
That is the only way you can receive four seven (47).

We get only Freeview Lite from the Chinley transmitter. However my neighbours (20 m down the hill) say they have switched their aerials to Ladder Hill and get full Freeview. This appears to be impossible according to the information here! The aerial engineer who was here last week also said no not possible but they clearly do! He was unable to get a signal from Winter Hill. Any idea what is going on?
