MikeP. When the local tv MUX started from Mendip and CH33 for the extra HD channels, living in Weston I installed a high gain W/B aerial outside so I could get all channels from Mendip. Replacing the group C/D aerials we needed before. The new instillation gave full signal strength/ signal quality on all channels,and as I said very slightly lower strengths on channel 51 which I was not surprised about not being in the direct beam for the local MUX. The drop is so bad that two other tvs with ordinary W/B aerials gives no signal level at all.

The main thing that comes to mind is, will Scotland's TV and radio broadcasts need to be encrypted (as Eire's TV is) so the rest of the UK will not be able to get them. Or may I say England and Wales broadcasts also encrypted so Scotland can't get them? So the end of free from encrypted TV is in sight, meaning that all TV will have to have some kind of card (as Freesat from Sky is now) system. Sat TV is easy, but how do you stop transmissions from masts crossing borders?

As I said a short time ago, I can see all sat. Broadcasts being encrypted again so Scotland can't get English, Welsh and N.I. Progs. And V/V so the rest of the UK can't get Scottish Progs. Who says the BBC and ITV will supply Scotland with TV progs. anyway? The people that vote YES will not be happy when they find they can't get Eastenders or Coronation Street!!!

I think we are all missing the point, if Scotland becomes independent it is not going to be an annex of the U.K. it will be like France, Germany, Spain ,Italy etc. it will have to supply its own TV and radio the BBC, ITV etc don,t furnish foreign countries as Scotland will become! Scotland will not be a part of the UK, or Britain or anything to do with the rest of us. This is what people who vote YES are forgetting they will be on their own!

Who says Scotland will keep English, if you are going to go the whole hog with independence you should have your home language as Scotland does. As I have said before people have not though a yes vote out, on Friday morning all motor vehicles could be using Scottish roads illegally. The DVLA who issues licences and car tax is a British organisation, so if Scotland is not part of Britain no licences or car tax is valid. NHS is British so on Friday morning no NHS in Scotland, you will have to pay to see your doctor. If they want independence lot them have it, but they have to be totally on their own. I am a Scot, if the vote is yes I will never go there again!

Has Burrington's ERP been increased in the last few days? Now picking it up in W.s.M. on a H. Pol. aerial for Mendip.

What has happened to the signal level of local MUX on ch51? Until a week ago it was giving 90% signal strength and 90% signal quality, but now it's down to 50% signal strength and 30% signal quality.
