Lee: You have two options, either move your aerial around to try the other transmitter you can use - Find out how to receive Freeview at postcode KT130RZ | ukfree.tv - independent digital television and switchover advice, since 2002

Or perhaps go for Freesat until your transmitter switches to high-power transmissions.

Very good site, however I still have a question. I have recently installed a new aerial with mast amp and was getting good freeview reception on all channels. Then this weekend I started to get picture break up etc on bbc and itv channels. I then noticed that I had a second set of these channels that had been allocated into the 800+ range on my tv. Going into the diagnostics on the tv I realised I am recieving muxes on the following channels 23,26,29 then 55,56,59,62,65,67. It seems my TV has used the muxes received on the 23,26,29 to allocated to the normal channel numbers and these are the ones that are susceptible to picture break up. I am pointing at the Mendips and located at bh21 3hh. Where am I getting the other channels from as the search on this site doesn't seem to show anything nearby use these channels and they are not coming from the Mendip transmitter. Is there a way to block them as having to manully resort 4 freeview boxes is a pain. The diagnostic screens does say the transmitter for the 20 somthings is South West and the 50/60's are West. Any ideas? (map)

IO: Please can you do this My Freeview box has no EPG, is missing Film4, Channel 4+1, no sound on ITV3 or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent digital television and switchover advice, since 2002 ? It will restore the channel numbers to the correct places.

As switchover happens, the digital transmitters are now much stronger in the switched regions, and this means you can watch them from places you couldn't before.

The procedure should sort this out. You have already discovered that alternative regional versions of channels get put in the 800-899 channel number range.

Thanks for the reply. This time a re tune has allocated all Mendip channels into the standard slots and the rogues ones being received in the rf 20 range have been allocated into the 800+, so I guess it is luck of the draw depending how strong the signal is when the scan is performed as to where they will be allocated by the freeview receiver. I did notice that on anolgue itv teletext it say Wales so I gues that is where my rogue reception is coming from. There also seems to be some co-channel interference on analogue between BBC1 and ITV. Many thanks. (map)

IO: Most boxes, when you do a clean scan will put the version of channels found "first" (on the lowest frequencies) in the normal place, with the "second" version in the 800s.

What can happen is the box will do a background scan for channels, and this gets the channels in a different order.

I hope things stay the right way, but don't forget you need to retune on the 30th.

We are in the Scottish Borders and used to receive ITV3, ITV4 AND Channel 5 very nicely and now since digital changeover can receive none of these to our annoyance.

Have waded through items on this website (will have to send info to my brother to try out as I am elsewhere) but has anyone got a simpler answer (I am hoping looking in the 800 numbers might sort it out) but cant do anything myself about checking scarts, frequencies, aerials and transmitter obviously without being in situ.

Has anyone out there near Selkirk in Scotland got the answers already? If so, grateful for any feedback. Thanks. Jane (map)

Great site, however it would be really useful if for a particular transmitter you had a table of channels currently being transmitted, sorted by Channel Name showing Analogue/Digital, plus the channel frequency. With this information it would be easy to check the channels we receive.

I have great trouble with my parents TV's. We had them all sorted until the retuning on Sept 30th - then they lost HTV (Mendip) and got SW instead - which they don't want. I managed to sort out the pvr as before with a manual retuning to no 59. Tried it on the digital tv but it hasn't worked and we never know until the news comes on to tell us which transmitter we are on. Why, in this digital age, can't the channels be shown as HTV, West or South so we know what we've got and why can't we have them all if we've got the signal (Shaftesbury is borderline for all of them)? Please don't refer me to the frequency info because its double dutch to me. Any EASY solutions?

Have a problem on my freeview a week after transmitter changed. My transmitter is Rowridge. All I am told by my tv suppliers COMET also with extended guarantee. That it is the transmitter itself signal too weak, nothing can be done. All digi channals otherthan bbc1 are pixaleted and distorted sounds to some degree, before singal changeover ok. Have retuned as told by COMET. But still has the same problems. All they say you will have to wait for a stronger signal. I live in a block of flats with a comunal aerial. I cannot alter aerial. Help. (map)

You must be getting it from Moel Y Parc, for the english progs make sure you are using a Group C/D aerial H pol. pointing to Winter Hill. Also keep your aerial disconnected while doing a re-tune until past CH52 this will stop progs. from Moel Y Parc but not Winter Hill.

On Wednesday 02.12.09 the picture on channel 4 and channel 5 broke up and has not been right since. I am on postcode BN1 5FA and assume I am receiving the Whitehawk transmitter.
I've tried doing an automatic search, which made no difference, and then restoring factory settings then automatic search, which resulted in those channels disappearing altogether from the list. (map)
