Geoff: There isn't any room on the "UK focused" Astra 2D satellite, so until there is a new "bird" up there it is unlikely that 5* and 5USA will go free-to-air.

Mike Dimmick: Sorry, I misunderstood the text at the bottom of the page.
The map, http://www.thedigitalradiogroup.co.uk/map.jpg has cyan for 58dbuV/m to 61dbuV/m, and the purple for for 61dbuV/m and above.
One possible reason for the supplied map being different is it doesn't really seem to take into account the angular restrictions provided in the Ofcom document, but I can't see Arqiva making that error for a commercial coverage map.

Rover: You need a Freeview HD (DVB-T2) television set, or a Freeview HD box attached to a HDTV.

Trevor Harris: As I understand it from the BBC briefing that I had, they will be able to use existing mobile phone masts, of which there are a considerable number, when they need to get down to covering smaller in-fill areas.
Such sites already have the necessary data connections, so this keeps costs down to a reasonable level.

Dee: Yes, from the dates listed above this transmitter will provide the local East Midlands service.
However, if you get a signal from Sutton Coldfield, the aerial will not be pointing in the correct direction.

lesnicol: There was a fault, I have found it and fixed it. And it was my fault there was a fault!

Don: Indoor aerials are not really suitable for stable Freeview reception.
However, in such a strong signal area, you may find that putting an indoor aerial near a window if it points north-northeast will give you most channels.

John Fisher: No problem. Basically, there is no link between the signal "quality" and the picture quality, unlike with analogue.
