the number ofchannels available inModbury seems very limited compared to those available inTotnes. Why is this and might it change???

Anne Kimber: No, the number ofchannels available from relays such asModbury are not likely to increase.

This is because the Commercial networks that don't broadcast from these transmitters achieve coverage of about 90% of the population from 81 of the largest transmitters (largest by viewer population).

There are over 1,000 small "filler-in" relays like Modbury that serve about 8.5% of the population. For the Commercial networks to broadcast from them would roughly double their cost of transmission as the cost to transmit from the relays is about equal to that of the 81 main transmitters.

As the Commercial networks are run purely for profit and have no obligation to provide a public service, they are allowed to make their own decisions as to where they serve.

They show adverts to as many viewers as possible which they wish to acquire at lowest possible cost. Accordingly they have evidently decided that doubling the cost of transmission to increase their viewer-bases by only approximately 10% doesn't make sound business sense.

Unless you can receive from a full-servicetransmitter, then you aren't ever going to be able to view the Commercial channels.

Freesat is an alternative you might like to consider.

Anne Kimber: Do any of your neighbours have aerials set for horizontal polarisation pointing ENE toBeacon Hill or WNW toCaradon Hill? If so you might be able to receive the full Freeview service with the correctaerial.
