Roger joesbury:
If you are on a Freeview Light transmitter, then the answer is no. The commercial broadcasters consider transmitters covering smaller populations to not be economically viable for their services as they would not get sufficient return on investment.

Roger joesbury: Actually, according to Digital UK Ivybridge is due to have the COM4/5/6 multiplexes added some time in Spring 2019 although this is primarily to replace coverage that will be lost from Caradon Hill in some areas due to interference when frequency changes take place. I couldn't see any info on whether COM4/5/6 will use the same broadcast radiation pattern as PSB1/2/3 of if it will be directional towards one or more areas.
