Laura Campbell: Checking the terrain between the Angus transmitter and each of the two locations mentioned indicates that it was purely through luck that you had previously managed to receive those programmes in the first place due to the signal path from the transmitter being obstructed, this in your original location being from approximately 10 down to 8 miles prior to your area whereas now its completely obstructed from approximately from 9 down to 1 mile.
You can view the obstructions referred to by opening the undermentioned links.

We have been receiving all freeview stations transmitted from Angus for a number of years, all at good signal strength. However, sometime during the night of Saturday 8th November we have lost all but Channel 53 PSB2 and Channel 49 COM6. Both of these channels are still at 100% strength but all others have disappeared. Have there been any changes taken place at that particular time? i.e. I believe that G4 signal can have this effect. What is the cure to my problem please?

Youview EPG recording problem affecting Film4+1 (PSB3 on Angus transmitter).
Hi
I am unable to EPG record Film 4+1, first noticed it yesterday when i got a "Failed" note on the Recordings list. I set up two further EPG recordings, one on Film4+1 (Failed again) whilst the "live" Film4 was successful. I also got a good,EPG, recording on BBC1 HD, also on PSB3). As these recordings should start following a transmitter signal, is there a fault on the system affecting The Film4 +1 channel?
PS.. Is the early cut off of some STV recorded programs also a fault?
Many thanks DD6 8EF Arial in Roof

lee: There's no absolute answer -- the answer is quite possibly, with the reasoning for me saying this as follows:
A terrain plot suggests you might be able to see the Angus transmitter at 6 miles:
Terrain between ( m a.g.l.) and (antenna m a.g.l.) - Optimising UK DTT Freeview and Radio aerial location
Line-of-sight is most important. However, the plot doesn't take into account any obstructions on the ground which could hamper reception.
I can see on Streetview that you are set-down a bit and that there are possibly taller buildings on Kinaird Street in the way.

Hi
Just wanting to know if BBC4 HD, BBC News HD and CBeebies HD are running on the Angus Transmitter yet?
I'm not picking up any sign of them and wondering if I need a different aerial.
Thanks
Duncan
