Want to know which transmitters will carry extra Freeview HD?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV I am working on integrating this information into UK Free TV. Note there are a number of sites with restricted radiation patterns. This information may take a couple of days to generate coverage maps for.
I have used the "Nominal ERPs" (the power levels most likely to be employed in practice by the licensee).
Taken from Ofcom - Award of the 600 MHz spectrum band - it's bad news for The Wrekin and Sudbury, but good news for:

I have been experiencing problems with bbc reception for the last few weeks. I live at PL65SW. It seems to me the signal at certain times of the day is week. My aerial points at the Plympton transmitter. Today at 8am poor signal but now at 10.30 its fine. We do seem to get this problem

Tony Smith: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? The broadcast power at the transmitter doesn't vary at different times of the day so it's more likely that you either have a fault or are suffering with interference.

We receive the TV signals from the Redruth aerial. For the last week or so the signal has disappeared. It does however come back for an hour or two in the morning on BBC 1 and 2. Checked with next door and they are experiencing the same problem. Is work being carried out on the mast to cause this problem?
Post code is TR4 9QN

Tony Hoskings: There is no engineering work currently showing for Redruth. You are only 17km away and are predicted to have good reception. If your neighbour is also being affected then (assuming you aren't sharing an aerial) it seems likely that you're suffering from electrical interference.
