Unfortunately depending on location, the "freeview" digitalchannels coverage varies immensely,also which particular governing body opted to remove ITV3 and ITV4 quite some time ago with the result that all transmissions ceased to be present south of Workington. The so called help line ( a telephone link, was cutoff due to the extremely high volume of calls attempting to register complaints at the channel cutbacks.
Unless you reside in a more populated area like Manchester , leeds etc etc the service is quite poor and not such value for money when you take into account the cost of having to purchase new equipment. If the Caldbeck digital transmitter ( covers the Workington area) with an additional 14 channels compared with what the area south of Whitehaven is allowed to view) why aren't these additional channels broadcasted here?
I would welcome a factual reply. Thankyou.
