 TV channel question - tyrednemotional
You don't say how long this has been an issue. There are various Freeview transmitter moves happening as we speak, though there have been none on Winter Hill (which I think will be your transmitter - though you might be on a Freeview-Lite repeater, that would explain a lot)) for a year or more.

106 (BBC4HD) is on the multiplex COM8, which also has channels 56, 64, 83, 91, 93, 96, 111, 112, 114, and 115 (and the 205 which timeshares the same frequency). If none of these appear in the channel listings, then the COM8 multiplex is not being received. That could be aerial or signal-strength related. COM8 is shown as a good signal in Settle, but is, I think, out-of-band on Winter Hill. I think BBC4HD wasn't originally on COM8 either, but will have been for some time, but it could be an aerial-banding issue.

107 (BBC News HD) is on multiplex COM7, which also has channels 57, 67, 74, 78, 92, 99, 109, 110, 113, so you may want to check if these are listed on your TV (if not, you aren't receiving the multiplex). COM7, however, should be in-band for an older aerial.

Edited to add - If you are pointing at Winter Hill, COM7 is on UHF Channel 55 (don't confuse this with the Logical Channel Numbers for the programs). You could always try a manual tune against Channel 55 to see if it can see a signal (that should pull in all the LCNs shown just above as being on COM8)
