Alan: It is doubtful.

Firstly, " NOTE: The commercial multiplexes at Sandy Heath will remain on their pre-switchover channels and powers for a period after digital switchover. SDN will then temporarily move to channel 31 (at 20kW ERP) during the third quarter of 2011, before adopting its final allocation of channel 51 in mid 2012. Arqiva A will adopt its final allocation of channel 52 in late 2011. Arqiva B will temporarily move to channel 67 (at 20kW ERP) during the third quarter of 2011, before adopting its final allocation of channel 48 in late 2011. "

Secondly, you will need a wideband aerial to receive the commercial multiplexes from Sandy Heath, and you may not have one of these.

Roof aerials are always recommended for stable Freeview reception.

Chris Hughes: It is most likely to indicate a problem with the set-top box you are using.

Wendy Leak: You should, assuming you are using the Waltham transmitter, have a full set of Freeview services right now. You may need to have your aerial checked.
