Hi, Selkirk transmitter. TD5 7LH. Rooftop aerial. Good signal, filter for previous cell phone mast. Before the latest channel movement and reset I had 108 channels, now only 104. What did I loose, and why. We are already missing many channels that others have. Thanks, Pat Stevens.

Hello Pat, the ones you have "lost" are probably those Sony channels that Sony have (re)moved to Local Multiplexes (you may not have noticed you weren't getting them unless you'd done a retune since 27th June but before the recent changes.. Unfortunately there's no Local multiplex broadcast from Selkirk, these only tend to exist in the larger urban areas. See True Entertainment | free and easy
See Digital UK | Channel listings for a full list (usually up-to-date) of Freeview channels and the multiplexes they are on. COMs 7&8 are not broadcast from Selkirk (and many other transmitters). They are only temporary muxes where they are broadcast and some transmitters have also lost them in recent changes. This is because of the limited spectrum available due to the 700Mhz clearance for 5G (see Digital UK | 700MHz clearance ). Currently COMs 7&8 are due to be closed by 2022 at the latest. We anticipate that some of the other existing muxes might become HD (and so have more capacity) at some point in the future.
