ROERT BARNFIELD: You are NOT paying for something that doesn't work, as the programme channels referred are not connected any way with the licence fee as they are being broadcast for profit making purposes paid for by the advertisers, and the only reason you were able to receive these channels in your previous location was simply because that the advertisers had calculated that the returns expected from the number of households within the transmitters coverage area would greatly exceed the contribution they have to make towards the running costs of the service.
This on course being the reverse in areas of lower population such as your own hence why they are not being transmitted.

ROERT BARNFIELD: The reason you have any TV channels now is because those broadcasters have an obligation to provide a "public service". One of those broadcasters is the BBC, to which your Licence Fee goes.
The fact that the Commercial broadcasters don't wish to transmit from Ladder Hill and over 1,000 other similar relay sites and is therefore unavailable to those viewers does not mean that the BBC should receive less revenue from those viewers.
The point is that there is now a two-tier system and two types of broadcaster: Public Service and Commercial. The latter exist purely for profit and serving a small proportion of the population, per viewer, is much greater. For that reason they aren't interested.

How long is the transmitter engineering going to be for? My dad has not had much television this week and doesn't know why? He is 86 and had no knowledge of the work taking place. Perhaps better communication to people regarding no television would have helped.

Some documentation is showing that the PSB3/BBCB HD mux is moving from C29 to C30 on the retune date of 22nd April 2020. (Winter Hill SDN mux moves to C29 on that date.).

As mentioned in my post on Sunday, 12 January 2020, Ladder Hill was missing from Clearance documents. A corrected document has at last been issued https://www.freeview.co.u….pdf
