So if I understand correctly, if I used vertical polarity, I would not receive from LSO, com7, or com8, and so I would not receive BBC4 HD or BBC News HD for example?
Have I understood correctly please?

jb38: Thanks for the follow up. I think I will try a H polarisation first, and see how reliably that performs, and switch to V if needs be.

I am no expert, but I believe that Rowridge COM8 is now Channel 56, not 37 as listed.

Percy H: I too could view BBC4 HD on my Humax, but not on my fairly new Sony Bravia TV, despite the fact that the Humax feeds the TV via a coax. I assume the Humax requires less signal than the TV to operate.

I had assumed that aerials to receive from the Rowridge transmitter would be the conventional type with the dipoles(?) horizontal.
Someone told me that that was true until recently, but now the aerials should be mounted vertically, as the vertical transmission was ten times stronger. (I assume by 'vertically' they mean that the length of the aerial remains horizontal, but is rotated 90 degrees).
I cannot make head nor tail of the Rowridge data. I don't understand MUxs, channels, or Groups. All the aerials I see around here point to Rowridge and are mounted conventionally.
I am wondering if someone who understands these things can shed some light on it for me please, and confirm this?
Thanks (East Wittering)
