Aerialman: I can log both values and display them, I was really just trying not to overcomplicate matters whilst I worked out what to do next.
Any suggestions at this point would be appreciated.

DAC SAMU: Satellite and cable receivers cannot be used in place of each other, they have different reception capabilities.

Aerialman: The data is from Ofcom, if there is no information in the source data about radiation patterns, I can't include it.
The BBC don't HAVE to provide this information to Ofcom, whereas all other broadcasters do.

rachel hopson: You should probably use a Freesat box - see Upgrading from Sky to Freesat

Freeview only works with a rooftop aerial, not a satellite dish.

Ewan: You can't receive the commercial multiplexes yet (until some point in 2013), and then from Craigkelly.
If you want more channels today then you will probably need to switch to Freesat, see Compare Freeview Light and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Mike Dimmick: I did suspect that it will be actually BBC TWO analogue that gets taken off air two months early, and ITV1 analogue will swap to BBC2.
But that would not fit the usual plan, as ITV1 analogue would then have to go off air to make way for the BBCA multiplex on C55- during the two weeks between DSO1 and DSO2.
I have to agree with your comment "Ofcom are ... letting the broadcasters do whatever they want and not keeping up with the paperwork. "
It was bad enough when MuxD was going into 64QAM mode at low power levels, which was to provide Sky Sports for BT.
But doing the same to MuxC for a couple of low rent channels on transmitters where there is no power increase is intolerable - especially as Digital UK are claiming to the press and public that this does not happen.
Of course, there were always going to be issues with the COM multiplexes because of the issues around it being a "secondary network", and frequencies being pulled for 4G and DDR.
Even though, of course, 4G and DDR frequencies are going to remain "out to tender" for some time to come.
What really gets my goat is all the "official" data that is published as bloody PDFs so I can't ever import it, I have to manually check the documents, and of course the errors like the all important line in the http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/tv/sup_dso/digital-stations-v4.pdf document being cut off.

Bill: C36 is a DDR channel. It was previously used for RADAR and should not have been used on any TV equipment.
