Nick: Please don't get hung up about "maximum gain", this is not an analogue service, the quality of the picture and sound will not improve.
As long as you have stable reception above the threshold of reception, you have a perfect service. Below that threshold, nothing.

Jerre: You are not in a good Freeview reception area until switchover, so you might only get the BBC channels from a Freeview box.
If you have a "communal" reception system, you would normally have to speak to whoever manages the system.
You might find you get the best results using a Freesat box and the satellite connection.

Rob: The one thing you can be sure is that the very small aerial that came with the card will not work.
Normally you need a rooftop aerial for Freeview reception, but you might find that you can use an "indoor" type aerial whilst camping.

Rob Barden: You would normally expect the procedure at the top of this page to clear your fault.

Jonny: The Magic Eye device will only work on a one-to-one basis. You can plug a single magic eye using a single RF cable to the RF2 output.

Robin Wilson: Thanks, you can receive all the Freeview channels from three transmitters: Winter Hill, The Wrekin and Moel y Parc.
If you don't have them your aerial may be pointing at the Sutton Coldfield transmitter, or possibly Bromsgrove or Lark Stoke.
