I was surprised on Sunday 1st July 2012 for my Humax Freeview Box to prompt me of the need to re-tune (for the Over Norton transmitter). I though that the "Digital Switch" was completed some time ago. Could you tell me if the re-tune for Sunday was (a) to bring in further channels and (b) if the switch is complete or I can expect further re-tuning?
Thanks,
Dave

Dave Whetstone: There is no further retune required for Over Norton. There was a retune affecting Suffolk, Essex and Kent so maybe the messages relate to that.

Why can't I get 5* on my freeview from Over Norton ?

J.Haworth: Because 5* is purely a commercial programme that's transmitted by the SDN mux, this not being available from Over Norton as its purely a PSB relay known as a Freeview-Light station.

J.Haworth: See this explanation, which applies likewise to the Over Norton transmitter:
Durris (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) full-Freeview transmitter | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice
5* is available on Freesat or you "may" be able to receive it from another transmitter.

During the last month we have had intermittent interference on the itv channels on all of our digital televisions, including one with a bt box. We have an arial on the roof and a booster in the loft. We have rescanned but this has made no difference. The picture seems to be worse in the evening. ITV can be clear for hours then suddenly start breaking up. Is this caused by a problem with the local transmitter?
