Valerie Carr :

There are dozens of transmitters in the North West, some main and some relays but as you haven't given a full postcode, we don't know which one.
That said, BBC3 is available from all transmitters in SD and HD (HD assumes you have an HD/T2 tuner in your TV).
If you get BBC1 and BBC2 then you should get BBC3, same with BBC1 HD and BBC2 HD you should get BBC3 HD.
Did you retune at the end of January?
BBC3 (SD) is at LCN23 in your EPG and BBC3 HD is at LCN109 in your EPG.
