DAB aerials on car radios should be improved as city multiplexes have limited power and cannot be received without signal interruption on car aerials on the fringe or outer parts of the coverage area.

It should be realised that internet connected TV has only been available since around 2015 and people with perfectly good receivers prior to that time are not going to change their receivers anytime soon in particular if they don't possess a router for their internet.

Does the decision to close down the AM frequency of Gold radio for the greater London area mean an eventual switch off all AM transmissions including those of the BBC?

It is sad that AM or medium and long wave band transmissions are to be phased out by 2027 as the signals are so much more robust than DAB or low power FM and the decision will mean that reception will be impossible on all old or vintage radios.

The problem with local DAB multiplexes is that they do not seem to be maintained to the same level as regional or national DAB transmitter sites even though in many cases such as the multiplex at Fort Widley near Portsmouth they share the sights so there should be equal maintenance for the local multiplexes.

My Sky Arts channel is still on Channel 11 with Pick now Sky Mix still on Channel 36. I am served by the Rowridge transmitter so why no change?

If Sky Arts has switched the channels but I am still receiving them as I was previously there is no point in wasting time doing a retune on my three TV sets so therefore what is the point in Sky doing this?

I will do a full retune when more than 2 channels are involved but there is no point if you can still receive all but 2 on the same channel numbers without a rescan.

It is sad that the BBC has decided it is necessary to close all its late night local radio services and not renewing the contracts of presenters who broadcast on these slots causing many listeners to retune to independent radio at these times.

Can we not have a list of all stations transmitting on the London DAB multiplexes?
