Will Newry north be upgraded from freeview lite to the full range of channels as Divis? If so, when is this scheduled to happen? It seems unfair that we are only receiving a limited number of channels compared to other areas when paying the full licence fee.

Damian: Simple answer is "no". See Will there ever be more services on the Freeview Light transmitters? | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice .
If you want more channels, then Freesat is usually the best option - see Compare TV FLight/F'sat | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice for the details.
