Davie- ITV2+1 has been moved to a MUX that you are unable to receive from your local transmitter.

I have just had a new aerial installed and even though still pointing towards Rosehearty Transmitter, 8 miles away, I can now receive dozens more channels than before, as many as for Durris, and more than that stated. The aerial was only a cheap Argos wideband with a stated transmitting distance of approx 30 miles. Also it is vertical now instead of it being horizontal. Has anyone else had this boost with a new aerial?

Linda Reed: You are probably picking up signals from another transmitter, but you didn't provide a postcode so I can't say where from.
