Why can't I receive freeview channel 81. When I phoned freeview they said it was because rosemarkie was not transmitting this signal . Is this correct , if so when or if is this likely to be upgraded , or is there anything I can do myself to improve this situation , best wishes for Christmas if you are working over the holiday .
