Will the lulworth transmitter ever be upgraded from 3 to 6 Mux thereby allowing similar access to free broadcasting as the rest of the nation, and if not, why?

Ron Scholes: The other three multiplexes that you do not receive are operated by the Commercial companies and they can choose where to install their transmitters.

The Lulworth transmitter is like 1000 or so other small relays; Public Service only.

The Commercial broadcasters achieve around 90% coverage of the population by transmitting from about 80 of the largest (by viewer population) sites. To transmit from the rest would roughly double their cost of transmission.

They are profit driven organisations that sell advertising to advertisers and show their output to as many viewers as possible at the lowest cost.
