Hi,

I've had a look at the number of times the Arrochar transmitter has undergone engineering works over the past year. It seems to be significant. What are they for? It does not appear to be improvements as nothing changes. Is this amount of engineering normal or do we have a naff transmitter?

On the subject of Dab radio. I have checked on postcode G837AA for Dab reception and have been told there is nothing in my area. However my son arrived last week in his new car that had a Dab radio. He could receive loads of DAB radio channels on this radio. Whats going on?

Up until the past 5 days, my Freesat reception has been very good. Now, however, I only have half of the chanels, previously had. What I have got is confusing e.g. I have BBC2HD but not the normal BBC2 Chanel. I have ITV3+1 but not ITV3 HD or ITV3 normal. There are many inconsitencies. It is most anoying to see so many screens / chanels which tell me to "check cables / connections" etc. I have another TV which receives Freeview and this is perfect. From what I can tell, the dish, cables and conections are all OK. I have tried re-tuning but get a message "need to search for signal", I press ok and after 30 minutes, nothing happens so I "stop". Can you please advise what is happening.
Regards

Dave Purnell:

Are any neighbours or nearby friends having anything similar? Apart from the possibility of the Dish or LNB having moved slightly - how do signal levels on the channels you get compare with what was normal before the problem? The other possibilities are the LNB or receiver has gone faulty. Can you borrow or try another receiver to check?

BBC Two Northern Ireland HD has now launched on Sky and Freesat (after several months of testing) where it can now be found on channel 102 on both platform for viewers in the NI region. It has switched places with BBC Two NI SD, which is due to be removed within the next few weeks as part of the BBC's plans for their channels to become HD only on satellite.
