the only thing, I know a lot of people who would look at the that list and say "we wont ever get Freview then" - the reason being that they pick up tv signals from one of the 1000 smaller relay transmitters (not listed).

Looking at the list...
Rowridge early 2012 !!!but maybe I can swing my Unix 100 round to Mendip - early 2010... or even Stockland Hill - early 2009 !!! We sometimes get Mendip (and the postcode checkers say the ONLY digital we can get is one of its MUXes !!!) - so it may work with the higher powers and Stockland Hill is not much lower according to Wolfbane. Code:
Transmitter 1, 2, A, B, C, D Gp. H/V Sig. km Brng. Aerial Rowridge 23,28,30,32,26,33 A H 47 18 115 Extra hi-gain Salisbury 55,56,59,62,65,52 CD V 15 19 350 Extreme outer fringe Hannington 50,43,40,46,44,41 B H 14 42 30 Extreme outer fringe Mendip 59,55,62,65,56,67 CD H 11 50 309 (Out of range) Stockland Hill 22,28,25,32,30,34 A H 9 60 272 Extreme outer fringe I suspect many will be in my position - being able (??) to get DSO digital from another direction well before the 'official' date. For some it will be a tragedy - with the new signals being reflected around interfering with their current signals but insufficient to receive. I have a clear view West so I can swing an aerial that way - but Stockland Hill could cause problems in the same group if there are any co-transmissions. We just have to hope that the DSO strategy is well worked out and these problems are few and far between ! Last edited by SimonBlackham : 03-02-2007 at 12:45. |

Anyone any idea what's going to happen to the Channel Isles after DSO? Will they have to go down the route of Sat or Cable as there is no DTT possible at present due to proximity to France?

I thought they were just leaving the Channel Island until last to give themselves plenty of time to sort out problems with France by then - the same with Ulster being left until the end to sort out what's happening between there and the Republic of Ireland.

Even if they weren't, the old transmitters could be switched off and new digital transmissions started up on the old frequencies. Last edited by Ray Cathode : 03-02-2007 at 19:37. |

What is the take-up rate of satellite on the channel islands ? - as if it is very high then the conversion to DTT is only really political. |
