Not looking promising Joan, just did a re-scan on the Toppy and as far as I can see it isn't there at all.
I know there's a Movies 4 Men on FreeSat in the low 300's.

Sorry!

Doesn't seem to be listed here:

Just found this Joan, can't be sure it's your transmitter but it looks like it's a weak signal at the moment.

Hi Joan, Janthenan has already found you the info you need. This channel is only broadcast from Winter Hill and is experimental. It is designed to serve Manchester so you are picking up a weak signal. Your aerial is probaly pointing to Winter Hill but you can find out from your tv and set top box which transmitters they are receiving. It's possible that the box is just more sensitive than the tv or you are getting an overlap where you are and one is using a different transmitter.

You can get a more detailed map here http://www.dtg.org.uk/industry/coverage.html . Just put in your postcode and it will tell you the best transmitter for you and then if you click on the check other transmitters link you can then get a link to a map. (sorry that is a bit longwinded). If you can see your aerial just check it is pointing in the right direction.

Hope this helps
Janet
