Anthony: Nottingham was a relay from Waltham for analogue but was set up independently for digital purposes so that Freeview could be transmitted from it. If you are on Nottingham and have successfully switched you are OK and need not take notice of the Waltham or Sutton Coldfield retunes.

Emley Moor broadcasts ITV HD (Granada). There is no Yorkshire service - there are only a few regions and each transmitter is assigned the nearest.

dave - your postcode indicates that if you are on a relay transmitter it would most likely be Beecroft Hill; this is a Freeview Light transmitter and has never had these channels. You may have picked them up from a more distant mast but it seems if you want them you will have to switch to Emley Moor if it is possible in your location. I suggest looking around at neighbouring aerials and/or a word with a local engineer.

Brian - if you were picking up from Kendal Fell relay mast in Kirkby Lonsdale (the nearest) then this is a Freeview Light transmitter and only has the public service channels - see the transmitter details on this site. If you could pick up Lancaster then this has the full range. Clue - Lancaster broadcasts Granada ITV, Kendal has Border.

Choddy, just a thought as I pass through Bolsover frequently and know it is an excellent reception area for Emley and Waltham. It may be you have too much signal since DSO, either via Emley, or from Belmont which had it's power boosted at the end of November. Is your son's aerial smaller than yours? Is your aerial boosted (shouldn't be)? Briantist's link should help you

I live in Gleadless, Sheffield, by the way, not Holmfirth! It changed my location when I was trying out some reception queries for others and forgot to return my location to it's proper place!!

How might a 10,000 pound a week local TV channel work? | Local Friday 23 March 2012 11:44AM

I think you may as well have these stations online so that you can tune in to any that you want. Otherwise you are bound to have the "I live in x and I can't get xtv but I get ytv" moaning again just like with DSO.

Help! Bought a Samsung 8700 Freesat+ box and got rid of my SKY box which gave perfect reception on all channels. I did a scan and it read 86% signal strength and 10% signal quality. It found 143 channels. I keep getting the message "Cannot receive the programme. Please check connection" on different channels. Some days the channels appear normally, sometimes I get this message. Red button services cause this message to appear and so do radio channels. I am puzzled. It appears to be a reception problem, but why did the SKY channels work so well??? Any help appreciated.

Jimmy James: most of Notts gets Look North - where do you live? Sounds like digital overlap. Please provide postcode.
