David North:
What are you trying to set up? It's normally your own postcode you put in, it's so the device sets the correct region which I guess in your case is Anglia East. This is usually only important where you receive more than one transmitter from different regions.
This transmitter is at NR27 9NE as per details at the top of the page. But using a nearby postcode might be best if your own is giving problems. Try eg. NR26 8DF which is in Sheringham.
