Gary: Yes it has, but no you can't get a signal from it. Your best transmitter choice is Sutton Coldfield, and only on 21st September 2011 will you get the full power signal.

Hazel Shrubsole: For most viewers, the mixing of music and speed is not a problem.
However, for a significant minority of people, this can cause problems. Generally speaking this is more likely as people age.
There are a few ways you deal with this:
- use the "tone" controls on the television set to promote the frequencies in speech (which are 85 to 255 Hz) and decrease the rest. This might be a cause of "turning down the treble".
- use the on-screen subtitles to help pick out the voice when it seems unclear.
Lots of people have this problems - see Radio 4 for those with hearing loss? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

arthur roe: Moving a short distance can totally change the transmitter you can receive frequencies from, so that is no guide to you I'm afraid.

Scott: Just to check, you have bought a Freeview HD set, and not just an HDTV with Freeview - see What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
Otherwise, you should have perfect Freeview HD reception, see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help.

Alvin Pritchard: The thinking process behind that last Digital Economy Act considered DAB+ and rejected using it in the UK due to the number of existing equipment that would be unable to receive transmissions using the more modern codec.

Richard: Actually, it is BSkyB that owns part of ITV, not the other way around.
The BBC are certainly not shareholders in BSkyB, the BBC's programmes are broadcast free to air on satellite and the law puts and obligation on BSkyB to list the BBC's channels in their programme guide.
No subscription is required to watch BBC programmes, not ITV programmes, or those from Channel 4 or Channel 5.

Richard: You may possibly be confusing BBC Worldwide's part ownership of UKTV, which has about ten channels.
These channels do not belong to Sky, UKTV has to pay Sky to have them included in the programme guide and makes income from the adverts shown on the channels (Dave, Yesterday, G.O.L.D etc). UKTV is not owned in any part by BSkyB.

JONNY: Yes, it's been on the cards for many a year. It makes a lot of sense to get news from the service that specifically covers Kent and Sussex, rather than from Southampton, Hampshire.
Viewers on satellite and cable already get BBC Newsroom South East rather than BBC Southampton Today.
