Hi, I used to live in Ph1 2qe. I recently moved to Ph1 5sq. Since doing so I have lost a lot of free view channels like E4+1, Film4+1, Dave, Pick. Is there anyway I can get these back? I have reset tv(built in free view) several times but has made no difference.

Laura Campbell: Probably not.
Thee is a two-tier terrestrian television transmittter network. The Commercial (COM) channels, which are those which you can now no longer receive achieve coverage of about 90% of the population whereas the Public Service Broadcaster (PSB) channel serve about 98.5% of the population, them having a requirement to provide a public service, as their name implies. The COM networks have no such obligation.
Because Perth is in a valley you are unlikely to be able to receive the full complement of channels from the Angus transmitter. I see you reside in a block of flats. If you are using a communal aerial system then it is beyond your control.
The Freesat route would give you other channels, although Dave, Yesterday and others aren't available. This is because they are only carried on satellite via Sky's subscription platform.

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.
