Any idea why DAB reception from a car is so poor in most areas of Malvern? it seems fine once you get further out towards Upton and beyond?

Well, it all depends on where you live and which transmitter you are using. To help determine the cause of your problem we need to know where you are, so please give a full post code (the first 'half' is not accurate enough!) of either your own location or that of a very nearby shop or post office.

Jean Paskell: Hi, Jean. There are no faults on the Malvern transmitter at present and so there must be a fault in your own installation somewhere. It's just a case of finding it! Richard, Norwich.

Hello all, I'm afraid I've got myself in a muddle trying to understand multiplexes etc. Just wanted to check - my understanding is that I will NOT be able to receive the extra BBC channels covering the Olympics via the Malvern transmitter - could someone please confirm? Many thanks

MarkDubya: Hi, Mark. You are correct that the Malvern transmitter, whilst classed as 'Full Freeview', does not actually transmit the multiplex called 'COM7', which is the multiplex which carries the additional Freeview HD channels. For a COM7 transmitter, you would need to get Sutton Coldfield, which I'm assuming is not possible from your location, which is why you are on Malvern? Richard, Norwich.
