Hello, I have a Freeview reception problem with channel 39. I live in Ramsgate and am tuned to the Dover transmitter. All TV on channel 39 often goes to low (or non-existent) signal strength and quality losing all of the TV channels on 39. I notice that it only transmits at a lower 40,000w. However I do not have trouble with any other 40,000w channel. Is there a problem with channel 39 on the Dover transmitter? Thank you.
