Williamina Flett: Because there is no transmitter that broadcasts PBS America anywhere near the Orkney Islands. If you want more channels look at getting Freesat.

Norman Brooks: Keelylang Hill is a full service transmitter (I'm not sure what information you've seen to suggest that is isn't) broadcasting all six main multiplexes, including COM4 where Paramount Network can be found. If you already receive Drama on Freeview channel 20 then just retune and Paramount should appear on 57.
