Can you tell me why the Cane hill transmitter only outputs 18 channels (in reality we might get 10 if we are lucky). Why can't transmitter be upgraded. Poor reception and less than a mile away

Adam: The commercial broadcaster were given the opportunity to broadcast from more transmitters after digital switchover but were not interested in doing so. If you have poor reception and live less than a mile from the transmitter then you need to get your aerial system sorted out. Start by checking for loose or damaged cables behind the TV and then follow as far as you can safely access towards the aerial. If you can't find anything wrong and replacing cables makes no improvement then it's time to get an aerial installer out. Alternatively you could get Freesat which will give you nearly all of the channels available on full service Freeview transmitters for a one off cost of a box along with the installation of a dish and cabling (if the property hasn't previously had Sky or Freesat).
