caroline: The G83 postcode area is not very precise for giving an accurate prediction of expected reception, however in most parts of this postcode area it is usual to find excellent reception on the PSB muxes only from Milburn Muir (aerial set for vertical polarisation) and also good reception on all six muxes from Darvel (aerial pointing SSE with rods horizontal). Could you give more information about the TV and aerial that you are trying to use, without success.

j reilly: Sorr, no. Please see Will there ever be more services on the Freeview Light transmitters? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for why.
To be fair, you don't need to buy any boosters to get the rest of the services, just move your aerial to point at Rosneath (VP or HP) or Black Hill.
