The problem with a freeview receiver is that it will tune into the strongest signal and I think the wrekin's digital multiplexes are stronger than long mountain.

If your freeview box has a manual tuning facility you can tune it to long mountain manually by entering the frequencies of the mux's and storing them.

See here for more info, also long mountain requires a vertically polarised aerial (i have set up freeview for someone in Newtown.) but as long mountain is a local relay you won't receive all the channels that you would on the wrekin[/url]
