Freeview reception from Limavady transmitter
My reception of all channels on DVB CH 57 (MUXB)? - (BBC4, BBC Parliament and many BBC radio channels)is very poor. Anyone else having problems?

Jim Cassidy: See the posting immediately above yours from "Transmitter engineering" which says that over the next week digital TV will be "liable to interruption". I expect that they are carrying out engineering work in preparation for switchover.
