andyboy: You will not get a strong signal from the Crystal Palace (London region) transmitter until switchover on 4th/18th April 2012.
Until then, Sudbury and Rouncefall will provide the strongest signal.

Dr. R. D. Feltham: I am very unsure why Digital UK would have not made it clear that the Sudbury switchover would have the effect that it did. Can you provide a link to a place where such misleading information was given out?

KT: You should report the problem either via the BBC reporting tool (see Broadcaster complaints details | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ) or via the local council.
However, you may find the simply replacing your aerial leads with higher quality cables will fix the problem.

jackieme: I would first check yourself for Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice , but if that doesn't fix the problem then you may have to contact the management company.

Nedbod: Surelt, it can't have escaped your attention that Freesat and Sky are the same transmissions from the same satellites?
The BBC do not wish to run a second multiplex, as it would double their costs and those people wanting higher bitrates can use Freesat/Freeview (MPEG2, L3) and online (AAC).

Jake: I'm not sure what you mean by "section E". However, as it notes on the Sudbury page:
SDN will temporarily operate on channel 49 (at 14kW ERP) from the first stage of Sudbury's switchover until mid-2012. Arqiva A will remain on its preswitchover channel (54) from switchover until mid-2012. Arqiva B will remain on its pre-switchover channel (50+) until late 2011, and then temporarily move to channel 63 (at 2.2kW ERP), before adopting its final allocation of channel 56 during mid-2012

Bea: You need more than a Sky+ box to record from satellite, you will also need to upgrade the LNB on the dish to a "quad LNB" and run in another cable to the dish.
Then you will need to pay at least £10 a month for the ability of the Sky+ box to record.
If you only want to watch the free-to-air channels, you would be better off using a Freesat+ box, as this requires no subscription and you can arrange your own installation - see Buy Twin Freesat Installation at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Freesat accessories.
for example.
