Why is my most likely transmitter 26km away, when my alternative is only 4km away! 

[tomp]

Probably find that the nearer transmitter is just a relay (so therefore carries less channels).

We always take these postcode checkers with a pinch of salt anyway, local knowledge is much better!!

[Seanl]

Both offer 26 channels according to the link. 

[tomp]

In that case they are both relays, 18 channels normally and some radio channels.

One might transmit at a lower power to cover a bad area that the other doesn't cover...

In your case you are probably better with a satellite based system, bbc freesat or pay sky every month...

[Seanl]

Yeah I have Sky. It would just be nice to have some basic channels upstairs without having to fork out for multi-room, so I could send her upstairs to watch eastenders when the football is on.  She just sits here with a face like a slapped arse atm. 

[tomp]

Best bet is a BBC freesat then, just buy a cheap box and run another cable from your existing dish to the tv upstairs. (If you have a Sky+ or HD box then you should have a quad LNB on the dish with two spare outputs)

[Seanl]

Yeah I have hd so that's good to know. Thanks for the info.
