Diana Bath: Sony moved some of their channels to the local TV multiplex last year, which is only available in areas where there is a local TV station broadcasting on Freeview channel 7 or 8. As there is no local TV station broadcast from Lark Stoke, you won't get the Sony Christmas channel. This was a commercial decision made by Sony, nobody from this independant website has anything to do with it.
