Post code EH45 9DX Over the past couple of weeks my Freeview signal has been poor with Low Signal' constantly displayed on screen. The aerial is in the loft pointing towards PEEBLES transmitter. Interestingly when I do a manual retune only the SELKIRK and Black Hill transmitters come up as an option. I can only conclude the PEEBLES transmitter has been switched off. Is this correct?
