Davie- ITV2+1 has been moved to a MUX that you are unable to receive from your local transmitter.

I have just had a new aerial installed and even though still pointing towards Rosehearty Transmitter, 8 miles away, I can now receive dozens more channels than before, as many as for Durris, and more than that stated. The aerial was only a cheap Argos wideband with a stated transmitting distance of approx 30 miles. Also it is vertical now instead of it being horizontal. Has anyone else had this boost with a new aerial?

Linda Reed: You are probably picking up signals from another transmitter, but you didn't provide a postcode so I can't say where from.

julie: The Digital UK postcode checker shows good reception on all muxes from the Belmont transmitter both now and after switchover at the postcode given. I am not sure why MuxA/SDN is missing at present, unless C68 is being blocked by interference, possibly from the RF modulator of a VCR or Sky box. The aerial fitter is correct, you should not require an amplifier unless the signal is split between several TVs.On 17th August MuxSDN changes frequency to C30- (together with mode change and power increase) so should no longer present any reception problems.

dave: From the Rosehearty relay you should have all the BBC tv and radio channels as listed at the top of the page plus all the channels on Mux D3+4 (including ITV2, STV+1 and Channel 4+1). With a HD television fitted with a tuner which supports DVB-T2 or a Freeview HD box you would also receive the Freeview HD services. According to the Digital UK postcode checker you might be able to receive a full Freeview service direct from Rumster Forest. Reception is shown as variable with Mux ArqA finishing up as good in 2012.I would keep your Rosehearty aerial though, if you do try Rumster Forest, as the reception does go through some changes as switchover progresses in other areas.
