UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Mike: It's down to the station owners as to what level of coverage they are prepared to pay for and what spare capacity is available. Boom and Talk Radio are both on the SDL National multiplex which is broadcast from far fewer transmitters than the more expensive D1 National multiplex. Boom are a small independent station who don't have the financial backing of one of the big media groups and are unlikely to increase their coverage any time soon.

I.Hart-Walsh : The transmitter engineering notice at the top of this page warns of Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels this week. Unfortunately no details are given of what sort of work is taking place or how long it is expected to take.

I.Hart-Walsh:

You are not predicted to get the best of reception from the Lancaster Freeview transmitter in your postcode.
Make sure that your aerial is still pointing correctly, compass bearing 266 degrees - virtually due W, and that it's rods (or squashed Xs) are vertical. Check your coax connections at all accessible points for water or corrosion, and that the downlead is secure, isn't flapping in the wind and is undamaged.

Do NOT retune whilst you have no signal or badly pixelated pictures, the usual result is to clear the correct tuning.
Check in your TV Tuning section that you are correctly tuned to Lancaster's UHF channels.
These are C27, C24, C21, C25, C28, and C22. That's is the multiplex order BBCA/PSB1, D3&4/PSB2, BBCB HD/PSB3, SDN/COM4, ArqA/COM5, ArqB/COM6.
