Thanks for the reply Brian - The position appears to be that Calver Peak transmitter has Freeview Light - this means that viewers will only receive around eighteen channels as opposed The full package of sixty Freeview channels which will be available from the main UK transmitters! - We now have more stations than we had before changeover but other UK viewers are receiving three times as many! - Many thanks - David

Wiill Channel 4's new 'catch up' Channel 4seven be available on Freeview from the Calver Peak transmitter?
I note that ALL Channel 4's other channels ARE available from this transmitter- and therefore can see no logical reason why just ONE of them should be omitted.
