Freeview reception at NE6 1DQ

For reliable and stable Freeview reception, you need an unobstructed path between the TV aerial on your roof and the digital TV transmitter. The map below shows the transmitters predicted to provide a signal at this location.

You can click on any transmitter symbol to show the coverage area as a green overlay on the map. Double click on a transmitter symbol to go to the transmitter information page.

You can also view the ten closest potential '4G-at-800' mobile phone masts within 1.5km of the selected location - these masts may be used for 4G-at-800 mobile broadband services from 2013-2015.

Hi. Recently I 'lost' the red button on BBC TV (radio was okay!). I managed to retrieve them by returning the , both with and without the connected (same result). However, I still haven't got the red button on (ch.107) and BBC4 HD (ch.106). I presume they should be there. Is there anything else I can do?

Ranger Caroline: I've got a very good now that I have place the vertical outside my bedroom, other than occasional signal loss during a windy day it doesn't give me any problems at all tracking the .

I don't have to watch the TV on computer anymore.

L M Price:

You don't say where you is aimed, what polarity it is set to nor what Group it is.

You are just 3 km from the transmitter, which is a Light transmitter and only broadcasts the BBCA, BBCB HD and D3&4 multiplexes. It needs a Group B aerial mounted with the small cross rods vertical rather than horizontal. It is at a bearing of 40 degrees. There are expected to be further changes later this year that will make from Leamington Spa more problematic so would not be recommended.

is 41 km away on a bearing of 332 degrees - but it needs the aerial to be set for horizontal reception (with the small rods horizontal rather than vertical). It is also a Group B Full Service transmitter. A Group T or a wide band aerial is recommended.

Anyone else missing COM7 ( etc) from ?

Been off with me (W4) since at least I think we. Retuned tonight but to no avail. 100% strength reported on PSB8 () and COM8 () but absolutely nothing in between.

If it's not a transmitter fault, then does anyone else have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Paul Thompson & Chris Jackson: You are both most likely using grouped aerials which are no longer suitable for receiving all of the frequencies used since the recent changes. If you don't have or you should be eligible for a free replacement aerial which can be arranged by contacting the Advice Line (see link below).

Hi, we are currently missing (amongst others) and from the list of channels. Our postcode is SS6 which I believe is the area.

Darren: The multiplexes carrying those changed at on 21st March. If your TV has a manual tuning function, try UHF channels 55 & 56, if that doesn't work you most likely have a Group A which is not designed to receive these higher frequencies. If you don't have or you may be eligible to have a free replacement aerial fitted, which can be arranged by contacting the Freeview Advice Line (see link below).
