I can only get BBC channels - despite a number of complete reinstalls. Roseneath or Ardentinny are my nearest aerials. Postcode is PA23 8TL ...Please help granny get her Emmerdale back! Thx.

I am at the same postcode as Andrew Ingle, indeed, just a few houses up and we are in the exact same boat, can only get BBC despite several retunes, done on two different freeview boxes.
Cheers,
Stewart.

G84 0QH same problem. Worked fine before switchover. All muxes at reasonable PQ. The reshuffled muxes are using channel numbers which worked fine before and are well inside the characteristics of my new(ish) rooftop aerial. Only 3k from Rosneath!

I cannot find out if HD is availble from Rosneath can you help.
I can see the Transmitter which is about 3 to 4 miles away and I can see the Aerial from the house easily. I receive it via an indoor aerial and I have good reception on all signals
