Below are all of Nigel's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I forgot to add yesterday the Nottingham transmitter is is also poor in parts of Mansfield ,so it really is a case of moving the aerial around to get the best transmitter with the best signals for reception.depending where you live.So now I am really looking forward 'Not' to when the BBC force us to use DABS radio and have to go out and buy new !!

We use freeview in the mansfield area and since January,we used Emely Moor transmitter on the advise of a reliable Aerial rigger who knows what he is doing.Well the signal strength has gone down by the month,so we tried the belmont,we lost even more channels ,so back to emley moor only to find we have lost the main BBC channels ,there is nothing wrong with our tv,the cable or the freeview and we are intelligent enough to update the unit on software as and when.I think it is appalling that we have to pay this licence for the rubbish reception we are getting ,so we have been forced to go freesat in our area ,as looking on the maps where these transmitters are it appears Mansfield is on the edge for both these transmitters to give any good reception ,so you have now been advised if you are in the mansfield area expect a lot of hassle and become the poorer,unless you live on top of a hill!
