Geoff Williamson: This is an independent website and no one on here has anything to do with operating any transmitters. I suspect you're referring to the COM7/COM8 , which are temporary multiplexes broadcast from 30 transmitters covering around 70% of UK households and are expected to close by 2022. Coverage will not be expanded to any further transmitters. Also, it is a not a good idea to post your full address online, a postcode is sufficient to access your coverage.
