Paul Bertenshaw: 21 September 2011. The picture quality will be 100% the same whatever transmitter you use.
You will need to use an HDMI cable, but one will usually come with a Freeview HD box. You can get them for about £3 there isn't one in the box.
A larger aerial will make interference from two-stroke engines worse. You need to mount the aerial up higher, and use satellite-grade coax cable.
You may be able to sort the problem out by using high quality "fly leads".

Martin: There is no "report", there is a planning application.
It is unlikely that the vast majority of homes will not have DVB-T2 equipment by the end of 2016, given the life-cycle of electronic equipment is usually much less than five years.
You do have a good point about HD Ready sets being unable to receive Freeview HD without a set-top box, it would be useful if this stopped being the case.

Also, on Local TV on Freview - table of winners and loosers | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice it shows that 63% of the target Sheffield area use that transmitter, so 36% use other Freeview masts.

H Yates: Did you do a "first time installation"? As long as you have a rooftop aerial then you will now receive all of the Freeview channels from the Belmont transmitter.

Kev Challis: Please see What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - you may just have a HDTV with Freeview, and not a Freeview HD (DVB-T2) receiver.
