I have recently moved to langho and am tuned to whalley transmitter which does not trnamit all Freeview stations - why is this and will the tranmitter be updated to give ll Freeview channels

Chambers's: ...
Chambers: The reason is because those that aren't available from your relay decide which transmitter sites to broadcast from based on the amount it will cost them to do so versus the number of extra viewers they will get.
