Briantist:
I STAY IN BALLOCH AND CAN ONLY GET LIMITED CHANNELS FROM Millburn Muir
WHY DINT THEY UPGRADE THE Millburn Muir TRASMITTER BEFORE THEY CHANGED OVER TO DIGITAL FREEVIEW
WAS IT GOING TO COST TO MUCH
OVER THE HILL AT ROSNEATH (WHICH GET ALL THE CHANNELS) IS LESS THAN 10 MILES AWAY
I AM QUIT SHURE THE COULD PROVIDED A BETTER SERVICE THAN WHAT THEY ARE GIVING JUST NOW
PS IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY FUTHER UPGRADE TO MILLBURN MUIR TRANSMITTER IN THE NEAR FUTURE

J MURRAY: Regarding your latter question, no!
Its really a case of the commercial operators not considering that the area is large enough to be profitable, and as such not willing to pay for the Multiplex operating costs involved.
As you haven't mentioned your exact location, (post code) I had a look at the trade predictor based on Balloch Post office to check on the reception possibilities for the area, unfortunately no other transmitters seem to be within reach, this leaving Freesat as the only way of achieving a wider choice of programmes.

lou: The Digital UK postcode checker predicts that you should be able to receive all six muxes with good reception from Darvel. For best results from Darvel a group A aerial is required, mounted for horizontal polarisation and pointing SSE. There is no prediction made for reception from Rosneath.
