I'm also having the same issue with Freeview. I'm in an area where the street next door will get it but I'm just off the map and will only get a few channels.
I'ts the same with standard TV, I'm in the East midlands however I receive west Midlands news however much I wave my aerial about.

I wonder if when I get virginmedia TV installed I will be able to choose my regional channel as I don't want to get Birmoingham news, I want East Midlands news.
no cause the neighbours round hear are all fuddy duddys and will just complain they have nothing better to do than report you for everything they are not happy with.

hi kymmy,
as i said i can't have a dish as the area im in is protected plus it is a listed property and the council round here won't allow it.

Your only way at the moment is to stick with Virgin Media.
hmmm and that's my point i was led to beleve from all the govenment hipe that freeview would be avalable to everyone by 2012. seems that might not be the case and if so i will be pushing for something else to happen like not paying my tv licence as i won't be in an area that can receive it. if i have to pay for digital on other means there should be some sort of compensation package.
