Jean Owen: Great! TV, Great! Movies +1 and Great! Movies Classic are carried on the local TV multiplex, which is only broadcast in areas with a local TV station (I believe Cardiff, Swansea and Mold are the only areas with local TV stations in Wales). Great! Movies Action is not broadcast from any transmitters in Wales, as it's capacity on the COM4 multiplex is taken by E4 (which cannot fit on the PSB2 multiplex as the space it uses in England/Scotland/NI is taken by S4C). You should still be able to receive Great! Movies on Freeview channel 33 which is carried on the COM6 multiplex alongside Yesterday and Talking Pictures.

Eastenders is repeated on W, and I have freeview but I have not got W. I have looked, Checked and checked again. I definitely don't have it. I have seen W has sister channels. Is Eastenders repeated on any of the sister channels?

Sharnna Marie Bird : W is a pay channel and is therefore not available on Freeview. You can catchup on Eastenders at any time on iPlayer.

Derek Dick?mann: Have you checked for any loose cables or connections behind your TV? If the problem has been going on for 3 months it is almost certainly being caused by some sort of fault or interference at your end and not the transmitter (although as you haven't said where you are or which transmitter you're using we can't check). Your TV Licence is not a subscription and does not entitle you to receive any particular channels, nor does it provide any funding to commercial channels such as Sky Arts or Talking Pictures.

You must have missed it! It's listed twice in two sections.
In the first section at the very top of the page "High definition channels" - 5th entry down - BBC One HD
In the second section next on the page "Main TV standard-definiton channels" - 13th entry down - BBC One (SD)

You'll have to ask the channel provider, this isn't their website and they're very unlikely to see your post here.
I would imagine cost has something to do with it!
