  I think so: http://tx.mb21.co.uk/mapsys/anatv/durris.asp
  
  I just looked up Craigkelly - it is closer by the looks of it (Kirkcaldy) but there's a very big hill in the way :eek: (that would explain why the surround houses also point to Durris - as the hill is right next to us!)
  
  My satellite dish is OK though - the hill's not big enough to hide the Astra satellites

  The houses aren't pointing at Durris - they are pointing at Angus, which is about 3 miles north of Dundee: http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/angus.asp

  Durris is the parent station of Angus, so when you scan for channels Durris is what appears.
  
  There is no way you will be receiving from Durris, because (as gtg says) it's only 10 miles from Aberdeen.

  
  What is the transmitter at Angus called? Why does my Hummy say 'Durris'?

  The transmitter at Angus is called just that - Angus. And as I said, your Hummy shows Durris because Durris is the parent station:
  

  Both the Rumster Forest and Angus stations are unattended and remotely controlled by their parent stations Mounteagle and Durris respectively. Rumster Forest entered programme service on 25th June 1965 and Angus on 13th October 1965.

  I see thanks for the info. I knew I was pointing at Angus but what the Hummy says is Durris. Now I know.
  
  So is Angus just a relay. The status of the Durris transmitter is that the same as the Angus or vice versa?

  Back to the subject of breakups, my Humax started breaking up occasionally about four weeks ago (was flashed to .08). It then started locking up occasionally too and then got really bad. I tried resetting to factory settings, formatting the drive and reflashing but it just got steadily worse with hourly lockups, breaking up in recorded programs etc. Off it went back to Currys for an exchange. Flashed the new one to .08 before using it and it has been faultless for the last 2 weeks. No breakups. No lock-ups.

  Simplest way to be sure is to tune the hummy to bbc1 and then go menu/system/signal detection. At the top you will see a channel number for mux 1.
  
  Angus would be CH68, Durris would be CH30
  Rest of the data is here....
