This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

All the Freeview channels are broken up into multiplexes (i.e. blocks of channels) broadcasting at different frequencies and you seem to be missing one. I'm guessing you're picking up this transmitter:

So you'll also be missing Yesterday and 4Music. Most probably cause is if your antenna is an old one, it may not pick up all frequencies - see if you can try a retune with an indoor antenna and it might pick it up. If it does, you'll probably as well to get a professional in and get him to point a new antenna (on your roof/in your loft) at the Emley Moor transmitter.
