I can't see any MP being impressed with comments about known transmitter problems. What a waste of public resources.

This information seems wrong. I live near this transmitter and there is nothing on these frequencies. I am getting stations on channels 32, 34 and 35.
32 (562) gives me the BBC SD channels
34 (578) gives me STV, ITV, Channel 4 and Channels 5 stations.
35 (586) gives me the BBC HD channels (except BBC 4 HD), STV HD, Channel 4 HD, Channel 5 HD and Film 4+1 SD.
