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.

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.

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.

Ian Blair: The problem with putting a dish on a pole is that it will probably blow around in the wind and disrupt satellite reception.
There are plenty of options for dish locations, can you please see Householder guide to satellite dishes | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

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.
