James McCusker: Carnmoney Hill is a lite transmitter intended to fill gaps in the coverage area of Divis. If you provide a full postcode we can see whether you might be able to change your aerial to receive the full range of channels from Divis.

Carnmoney Hill is what's known as a Freeview Light transmitters I.e. it only has the basic PSB multiplexes.
To get the channels outside the coverage areas of the main Freeview transmitters you'll need to invest in Freesat.
This is a free to air satellite system that requires a dish.
