David Chuter: You do not appear to be in a particularly good reception area with one predictor actually indicating "no reception possible", however the DTG trade predictions indicate that at the present time Sandy is possibly your best bet, albeit with only three Mux's being received Ch27 - Ch24 - Ch21, the latter being the HD Mux.
Its really a case of what the station's were that you were previously receiving, as 2 Mux's from Waltham are also showing as being possible, these being Ch49 - Ch31, although from the 12th of October this year you should be able to receive all 6 Mux's.
Your situation also shows another change in November 11th 2011, with all six Mux's from Sutton Coldfield showing as being possible.
Maybe you could indicate what you were previously receiving, and also what kind of aerial arrangements you have, this particularly important because of your low signal area.
