I live in Long Compton and only just this month we've been able to get Freeview. Problem is that I can only seem to get BBC-related channels, so no ITV, C4 or 5. Tried everything I can think of plus all the suggestions I've read here and still channels are missing.
Could it be that the switchover has to take place for it to work properly? Does anyone else have the same problem? All suggestions welcome.

Tom: Yes, you will not get any more channels until switchover happens. If you want more channels today, use Freesat instead.
