Christopher Smith: West Runton is a Freeview Lite transmitter, it does not (and probably never will) broadcast most commercial channels such as GB News. If you provide a full postcode (NR27 covers a wide area) we can check whether you might be able to receive GB News and many other commercial channels from another transmitter. Alternative, you could look at getting Freesat, or watch online if you have a reasonable broadband connection.

Whilst on holiday & tuned to the West runton transmitter, ITV 3 HD tunes to Meridian in kent it also does this at home from the Sudbury transmitter. Why should this be.

Geoffrey Hampton: Presumably you mean ITV HD, as ITV 3 isn't available in HD on Freeview. There are currently only a handful of ITV regions available in HD on Freeview, with Meridian being broadcast in HD across large parts of the south of England. This is expected to change next year as the PSB3 multiplex which carries BBC One HD, BBC Two HD, ITV HD, Channel 4 HD & Channel 5 HD becomes available for every region, rather than the current situation where only a handful of regional versions of PSB3 exist.

David North:
What are you trying to set up? It's normally your own postcode you put in, it's so the device sets the correct region which I guess in your case is Anglia East. This is usually only important where you receive more than one transmitter from different regions.
This transmitter is at NR27 9NE as per details at the top of the page. But using a nearby postcode might be best if your own is giving problems. Try eg. NR26 8DF which is in Sheringham.
