jane: Indoor aerials are unsuitable for Freeview reception. You might be able to get a large aerial to work in a loft space, but I can't really say without a postcode.

Rob Butterworth: Bit hard to say without a postcode, but you may have to wait as at Sandy Heath: "Arqiva B will temporarily move to channel 67 (at 20kW ERP) at switchover and then it will adopt its final allocation of channel 48 on 14 Sept 2011."

jim: If you are using the local relay transmitter, you will have to wait for 22th June 2011 for Freeview HD.
If you are using Darvel or Black Hill for your Freeview service (ie, you have all the channels) then you should already have Freeview HD, if so please check the What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.

Ash: The point of SFN is that you don't create areas served by more than one transmitter if you can help it, thus when a new transmitter is introduced, neighbouring transmitter have their radiation patterns changed to avoid creating "mush zones".

NottsUK: Yes, the 3D (actually it's stereoscopic, not 3D) service uses half the frame for the left eye and half for the right. So, any 3D you see will have "half HD" resolution. There is a outband flag in the service to tell 3D display equipment to show the left hand side whilst the left eye shutter is open and then the same with the right, in effect at double the frame rate.

Graham Ellery: If I was you I would wait for the full power service on Wednesday.
The output levels of the transmitters are designed for rooftop aerial reception, this is the same for all parts of the UK.
| link to this comment |
Jm F: The current map is using:
Distance=sqrt((ERPW)*(10^-db))/fpMinW)
Where fpMinW=7.94328234724E-12 (watts) which is -81 dBm, the minimum level for a DAB receiver.
There's some debugging to do, but the power is related to the distance squared, so does not fall off like a "radiation" diagram.

For some reason Heathfield has not imported ... I will have to find out why.

roy: You are predicted to get excellent reception - from a rooftop aerial. Indoor aerials are not reliable for Freeview reception, even very close to the transmitter as you are.
| link to this comment |
Raymond Cowie: I would probably wait until switchover is complete a week on Wednesday before altering any of your equipment.

Chris: Is the aerial on the roof? A roof top aerial is require for reliable Freeview reception.

Michael mc ananet: You are not predicted to get Freeview from the transmitter, at least until 2012 and not all services even then.

Peter: I would read the posts above to explain how to clear the fault without you having to do much at all really, other than use the "shipping condition" menu option.
The BBC have not screwed up and you can enter the correct symbol rate into your device using the number keys.

Graeme Hartley: As the above comments, reset the device to "shipping condition" to get the channels back.

NottsUK: I thought BBC HD has always been at full HD resolution?
Normally the 3D (it's NOT 3D, it's stereoscopic) is provided as two 960x1080 frames in the 1920x1080 HD frame, but there are other modes that use 1920x540. This is called "HD Frame Compatible (level 2)".
There is a "HD Service Compatible (level 4)" which is a 2D 1280x720 frame for normal display and the 3D "right eye" encoded as three part frames, one 640x720 and the other two blocks of 640x360.
Like so:

John Robinson: Yes, the holiday was otherwise excellent.
I understand it is going to take eight weeks to heal up.
So, yes, I won't be able to venture far from the PC...
| link to this comment |
Steve: I must admit I'm not really any sort of expert of the bones of the foot.
I was in Turkey, so I can't see there being any opportunity to sue anyone.
It actually happened in the first few minutes of the holiday and I walked around on it for nearly two weeks thinking it was a "sprained ankle" before it suddenly was so painful I had to go to the hospital.
Thankfully it was my travel insurance that picked up the bill for the unusable seats. And that was on a half-empty plain. I had the same three seats on the way out for no charge.
| link to this comment |
Steve: I understand that "home reception" is now to to mean using a "portable set", rather than the old way of using a roof mounted aerial.
| link to this comment |
Steve: What I mean is that the new prediction datasets for FM and DAB are much more realisitic in terms of the receiver equipment and using an aerial.
The older prediction models were much more "idealistic", but for the digital radio switchover they are now using predictions based on "real world" installs and equipment.
| link to this comment |
Nedbod: Yes, I saw that it was on again in iPlayer. I was going to record it and then I found that I already had the .aac files.
| link to this comment |
MCMLXII: Yes, Ceefax still is on BBC TWO analogue. I can only list one channel number per service.
Teletext has closed on all services, including Freeview.
303 is not on PSB1, it ONLY listed for Multiplex B now by DMOL.
| link to this comment |
Steve: As I am sure I have said before, that is not the plan. The BBC (and the other broadcasters) do not wish to have the expense of running two networks, FM will be turned off for national services and used only for "community radio".
| link to this comment |
michael: The Ofcom documents are an excellent read, and for the first time really do seem to take into account what will actually be required for the "radio switchover", in particular the requirement for 99%/99% DAB coverage of all homes and roads that currently have any sort (even mono) FM coverage.
FM will be used for "community radio" only, and LW/MW will be discontinued.
| link to this comment |
Mark Aberfan Aerials: Yes, I had an excellent holiday, with the little exception of the ankle problem.
I have to say that having a Kindle to read whilst you are on holiday is a great advance. I would have used my entire baggage allowance on the paperbacks!

Jonathon Green: I have never, ever heard of "hissy" anything on DAB, it is simply impossible. As with all digital reception, it is perfect or nothing. Hiss is an analogue "feature".

Mark A.: I see. The supposed "primary source" DMOL Post-DSO Multiplex Channel Allocations does not list 303 for post-switchover, only on Mux B pre-switchover.
I thought 303 had closed and the bandwidth was part of the "deal" with Arqiva, which is one of the TBA channels. Selecting 303 never shows any content.
Yes, there is still a "teletext" service, but not a "Teletext" (ie, the service that replaced ORACLE on ITV, with a capital letter) providing subtitles on satellite.
| link to this comment |
daniel: I'm sorry I've been on holiday and broke my ankle, so I have not had the opportunity to check the listings.
It would appear that there have been some multiplex changes to those channels and a couple of adult ones, and also Channel Zero has moved to D/ARQB.
Also Luxury Life has gone from satellite, and JML Cookshop has been replaced by Argos TV. Sport XXX Babes is now Bluebird 5, 40+ Readers Wives now Bluebird 1 and Club Paradiso now Storm TV.

clarke: Until switchover, you will only get the Freeview HD service if your aerial is pointing at the Emley Moor transmitter.

woodface: Sadly, I had to use the Royal Sussex County Hospital. A place that two of my friends went in with minor traffic injuries and came out with MRSA. And the place that gave a wholly unacceptable (and wrong) cancer prognosis to another.
I don't think I can go wrong really, they have now fitted a "boot" which seems to be doing the job.

Andrew: They have told me that the boot is only required for six weeks, but I will bear in mind what you have said. Thanks.

Jay: There is capacity on the Arqiva multiplexes, as they changed from 16QAM (18Mbps) to 64QAM (24Mbps) they have extra bandwidth for two extra channels each.
As above, Really replaces an existing channel.
| link to this comment |
Peter Henderson: It's probably worth pointing out that UKTV owns the "Dave Ja Vue" slot, as they were one of the original Freeview consortium.
It is not likely that they would sell off a valuable Freeview slot to another broadcaster when they have plenty of content themselves.
Eurosport would be quite free to bid for one of the Arqiva TBA slots.
| link to this comment |
Mike Dimmick: I have to agree that Alibi would have probably been a better choice of channel for Freeview.
I would think that they have thought "Dave" is a very male-orientated channel, and so "Really" is probably a good way of reaching a female-audience on Freeview.
I note that "Really" is showing a "no share" on BARB, whereas "Alibi" gets 0.3%.
"Dave" gets 0.8%, from the Freeview presence.

Trevor Harris: If you read the above, you will see that the DAB coverage will be 99%/99%, which is "error free reception".
There will be plenty of spare frequencies to use for FM radio adaptors, as the FM radio service will be turned off!
| link to this comment |
John: A rather ironic comment, given what happened - I'm back - but slightly incapacitated... | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
| link to this comment |
Trevor Harris: Actually, with digital systems you can says "error free reception" as this is perfectly possible, as anyone who watches Freeview/digital satellite/digital cable knows. Or uses an internet connection, anything from ISDN to FTH.
For digital systems you define the BER (bit error rate) that is acceptable for the underlying transmission system, and the provide FEC (forward error correction) to deal with the BER issue. That's why Ofcom are saying that 99%/99% is the acceptable prediction level for the "calculation pixel". This is way, way above what FM delivers.
Your thinking is very analogue, if you don't mind me saying so.
