Is there a reason I am unable to receive the new STV Glasgow channel even after retuning my freeview channels on TV.
Many Thanks in anticipation...J Scott

John Scott: It depends entirely where you are located? and whether or not you are able to receive the new low powered (5Kw) L-GLW Multiplex transmitting on Ch51, the programme referred to being on guide number 23 along with the Chart show (67) and Pop (75).
If you are unable to view any of the latter two programmes mentioned?, then go into the tuning menu of whatever you are using and select "manual tune" followed by entering Ch51 into the box then waiting to see if any signal strength / quality levels are indicated before pressing search or scan, because if they aren't then nothing will be achieved by pressing same.
That said is based on you receiving Freeview from Blackhill?, and which is the only station presently transmitting the new L- GLW Mux.
