robin armstrong: That's correct, you cannot yet receive Freeview from the Tacolneston transmitter, with the possible exception of Multiplex 1.
From 23 Nov 11 you will get a "marginal" digital service from that transmitter, and this will deteriorate slightly in 2012.
However, you might want to go for Freesat today as this will provide you with more or less the same channels as you will get at switchover from Tacolneston and will remain stable in 2012.
Freesat would probably be a wiser investment than a new aerial.

Gary: That is probably the case, the signal from Sudbury will be poor for Multiplex 2/D3+4 until swithover on 20th July 2011. Your commercial channels will be poor until the final stage on 27th June 2012.

nicola: You shouldn't need anything but your aerial and cable to have stable reception from Sutton Coldfield on all multiplexes.

Ray Brayne: You can watch the Free to air channels, but you can't play/pause/record any more. To play/pause/record you will need a Freesat+HD box.

amy: You will probably have to replace the entire cable as a joint in the cable will probably reduce the signal level below what is acceptable for the receiver.

bernard hunt: The Ridge Hill ITV West service is designed to cover only a small section of the transmitter service area and is restricted to those nominally in the "West" area.
