@ Briantist. I'm in Northampton & we just got Freeview. I have compiled a list of the channels I can actually get (spreadhseet) & I was wondering if you wanted a copy of it seeing as you provide all this freeview information.

So according to the post above me, does this mean that...

"some time after next April, when Mux A finally reaches its final channel"

...those of us currently on the Dallington Park transmitter can expect to recieve all of the Freeview channels rather than just the Freeview Lite (as listed at the top of this page)?

In theory I'm on the Dallington transmitter. I'm on the river Nene NN1 5NL. Most in the area seem to be pointing towards the Sandy Heath transmitter, but with the wrong polarity, horizontal to get a picture, yet pointing roughly at Sandy Heath. I think we are picking up the Dallington transmitter.
ITV, ITV+1, ITV2, Ch4, Ch5, Ch4+1, E4, More 4, Film 4 are all around the 58% mark & watchable.

BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, BBC news, BBC parliament, Red button 301, & CBBC are the only other channels that I can get, & these are usually around the 68% mark & watchable. But yesterday morning around 7ish am all these BBC channels dropped to 0%, so nothing. This morning (Friday) at 7am exactly these BBC channels (I didn't check them all) came back to 43%, so not good enough to get a picture to be able to watch. Nothing my end has changed, other people I spoke to experienced the same thing (not spoken to anyone this morning)

Clearly something is happening but it's listed as no problems.

For the record this area is low lying & has always had a reception problem even before digital

Me again. Ignore my last post above. I'm getting my polarity mixed up. I was in fact picking up Sandy Heath. Can't get anything from Dallington
