Digital Region Overlap
Saturday 6 August 2011 2:43PM

bernard Hunt:

Mendip: "Mendip SDN and Arqiva A will temporarily operate on channels 62+ and 56+ respectively (both at 10kW ERP) until September 2011. Final DSO channels will then be adopted, though ERP levels will remain limited until early 2012. Arqiva B will operate on channel 59+ (10kW ERP) until January 2011, when it will move to channel 67 at 26kW ERP until September 2011. Arqiva B's final DSO channel will then be adopted, though ERP will remain limited until early 2012."

Oxford: DSO2 is Wednesday 28th September 2011. However, "Arqiva A will temporarily use channel 34 (10kW) between the first and second stages of switchover at Oxford.
SDN, ArqA and ArqB restricted to 12.5kW after switchover until further notice."

June 2012 is when the "Meridian" region switches over, freeing up frequencies for the COM multiplexes, see UK Digital switchover simulation | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Richard Davis: I think I understand now.
South East Today is a programme designed for Kent and East Sussex and comes from Tunbridge Wells, and not the "London" service which comes from the capital.
This isn't the old "Newsroom Southeast" service which once covered London AND Kent/East Sussex AND Oxford. These are now three distinct different services.
It is, as I said, the service that everyone in Brighton already gets on cable and satellite.
Brighton is the most populated city in the NSE area and get much higher billing that it does on South Today.
Please compare "Newsroom Southeast" - BBC South East map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - with "London" region BBC London map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and also BBC South BBC South map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Five minutes in, a report from outside Brighton Police station. 12 minutes in a report about Brighton and Hove Albion.

As I said the service was created back in 2001 to cover Kent and East Sussex.

David: Sky and Freeview don't work in the same way. Freeview is just the name of the publicity for the DVB-T service. The makers of the Freeview equipment are not associated with this company, or the broadcasters, in any way.

Basically, Freeview works like this:
