Can you tell me why there are less freeview channels in West Sussex than there are in East Sussex and how soon will this discrepancy be rectified.
Dave Lindsay
Friday 22 February 2013 2:33PM
Keith Ballard: The Commercial networks do not have as great a reach as the Public Service ones. This is never likely to change, see:

Londonderry (Northern Ireland) digital TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice

Most viewers in West Sussex that can receive from a full-service transmitter get all the channels.

If you are using Rowridge and you're having difficulty with the Commercial channels then you might benefit from switching your aerial to vertical polarisation as they are stronger vertically. This will also help with rejection of Crystal Palace's signals which use the same frequencies, but which broadcast only horizontally.

I saw a retune message this morning (15 May 2013). However none is needed. The channel changes apply only to Ventnor and Salibury in this transmitter group.
