Jordy: I've changed the top article to reflect the information provided by Ofcom.
The radiation patterns are intentionality restricted, that's why they are "Interleaved Frequencies". I've posted the example of the Crystal Palace at the top of the article too.

woodface: It's not the hill, these are Interleaved Frequencies so the restrictions are to prevent interference with UK and Continental transmitters using the same frequencies.
Do not confuse these with the normal multiplex radiation patterns.

Mike Dimmick: I wish that was the reason I missed it off the original list, but that was in fact an error.
As the Interleaved Frequencies are just the "sweepings up" after the allocations are complete, it is somewhat random which places get covered and which do not.

Ian: No, it makes no sense whatsoever. Please look at the coverage maps on Interleaved Frequencies maps | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
The coverage is local, not part of a "normal" multiplex with wide area coverage. This is not a "regional opt out", it is a local transmission.

Stephen Worthington: No, it isn't true. You should be using the Ludlow transmitter for Freeview, but this only starts on 6th April 2011, with the other TWO multiplexes from there on 20th April.
