Accurate Freeview channel list?

[Mr Pointy]

This has got me narked because I should be able to sort this out myself but I'm struggling.

My TV aerial point towards Hannington & I did a retune a few days ago as a couple of the channels moved. When I looked at the channels available after the retune I found I was missing a few. I think it's mainly around the Com7/8 muxes but it's not as if I'm missing all of the channels - or at least I don't think I am. This is one of the few channel lists I have been able to find:
https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Hannington

Looking at Com7 I can see BBC News HD, but not AlJazeera HD or a couple of other channels. On Com 8 I see 5Star+1 but not BBC4 HD. It's a s if this list is inaccurate but I can't find a better one & the Freeview website doesn't seem to have a tramsmitter channel list at all.

Can anyone point me towards an accurate channel list for Hannington?

Can't help with your specific transmitter, but they also keep buggering about with the MUxs and frequencies - had to retune about 12 times this year, and several channels including BBC4HD have disappeared until I get another supposed future-proof aerial. On the second one in 12 years now for last 5 years & can't find anything about which ones will "guarantee" future terrestrial coverage either.

This site (& shop) has a lot of information about aerials:

Scroll down a bit to see the section on groups. Depending on which transmitter you are looking at it seems that a Wideband or Group T should cover you. A Group E might even be ok if you don't need anything below channel 35. There's a lot on other pages of that site so have a look through & see what the planned channels are for your transmitter.

Thank you.

I use this:

https://ukfree.tv/maps/freeview

Allows you to locate the transmitters nearest to you, see their direction so you can fiddle with your aerial and gives lists of channels available and the MUXs etc they're on.

Pretty handy when you're trying to set things up, especially in marginal areas...

That's the site I linked to in the original post & as I said I'm missing some channels on the Com7 & 8 muxes. As it's not possible to only get some channels on a Mux (you either can get a Mux or you can't) I'm not sure the channel list is correct.

Sorry, hadn't noticed.

They do seem to muck about with them constantly, so maybe there's just lag in setting them up. Re-tuning periodically is probably a good idea, but am always nervous of losing something useful.
