Today, 23rd Aug I have had poor, and on some of the few channels we do pick up, no service at all. But you report no problems from this transmitter. Am I the only person with poor reception? And when, if ever, is the Marlborough transmitter going to be up graded so we can enjoy a full service as most other people?

Peter Howard: Have you checked with any neighbours to see if they are experiencing the same problem with Freeview?
The Marlborough only carries a basic service due to it only covering a small population and won't be upgraded to to broadcast additional services. If you provide a postcode we'll be able to see if you might be able to receive Freeview from a main transmitter. Alternatively you could get Freesat which will give you most of the channels available on Freeview via satellite without a subscription.
