Duncan: Yes, Freeview HD started broadcasting today. You will need a DVB-T2 (branded Freeview HD) set or box to watch the service, see What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Gerald C. May: Yes, Mike Dimmick did them - see UK digital TV transmitters radiation patterns | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

bob: I'm sorry, but loft aerials are not really suitable for Freeview reception, and you are not predicted to have good reception from the Dover transmitter on multiplex 1 and 2 until switchover next year.

This also explains the poor performance of your "shared aerial" too.

Scott: They are not there in the broadcast - the audio is carried as a separate stream from the video data, but some equipment, including Sony TVs are having problems - BBC HD quietly begins broadcasting in 1080p, but not all Sony HDTVs can handle it -- Engadget has some details.
