Fraserburghmr ian duthie: I presume that your aerial is on the Rosehearty relay (275 degrees, vertically polarised). This doesn't carry the commercial channels.
The Digital UK predictor doesn't look good for reception from Durris for the commercial multiplexes. If you are to ever get such channels, then I think we can safely say that it will have to be a rooftop aerial.
Perhaps the pros might be able to suggest what the possibility of success might be.
