Just moved into a new flat and can't get more than 33 channels on free view. The ones that are working are the BBC channels, ITV, channel4, some +1, and radio stations. Looked into it and as I'm getting signal from tay bridge transmitter it seems that that's all that's available. Apparently getting a signal from the Angus transmitter would make every channels available but i m not sure how to get a signal from there even though its supposed to cover the Dundee area as well. I'm using an aerial that I had when I lived in central London and it picked up the full range of channels without ever having a single problem. Is this something I'll have to live with or will I just have to pay up for cable or sky?
I'd appreciate any advise, thanks.

Gary Lausch: thanks for getting back so quick. I've tried the postcode check and its said that the ones I'm getting are the only ones available on the taybridge transmitter. It gave me an option to change transmitter to Angus option and that seems like the one to go with. Is it just a case of pointing aerial in the opposite direction? I looked into the transmitters in the area and as Angus isn't far and covers a huge area including the whole of Dundee its surely best to go with that. If the tay bridge is so shite why don't they pull it down and make everyone use the better one? Can't get my head round a having a transmitter that doesn't work properly. Retuned again and moved the aerial and now have a few HD channels but still missing the majority.
