Jonathan: I would first try My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and then look for Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice on C66.

Matt: No, that was the DVB-T2 trial. The MIMO trail was at Kingswood Warren, the old R&D site. The one with the lovely country hotel.

Jamie: Sadly, that is not possible. There are three rather blindingly obvious reasons:
1. For an SFN to work to cover the whole country you would need to change the locations of the transmitter masts and you would need to change the direction that everyone's aerials point;
2. Almost everyone would need to change their "grouped" aerial for a wideband aerial.
3. BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 all have regional versions.
I covered this back in March 2006 at How much is switchover worth?

Mike Bellis: Did you do a "first time install" or just a "scan for channels"?
The output level are the same, you might need to check for Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice on C66.

Mark Aberfan Aerials: I think that most people I have spoken to in the industry concur that 3D (it isn't 3D, it is stereoscopic, they just call it 3D) is a gimmick being used to sell high end television sets, now that "Full HD" sets are now commodities (you can get a 40" HDTV for £300 - ASDA Launches Budget 40″ Full HD 1080p Freeview LCD TV Priced At £299 - it is a commodity).
The problem with stereoscopic production is that you can't make a stereoscopic programme that looks good that also looks good in normal 2D.
With the upgrade to HDTV, you can make a programme in HD and show on a SD channel either later, or at the same time.
But, anyway, as I have said before there is no need to "plan for 3D" as it carried in a standard HDTV frame with a flag set for televisions that can do something with it.

R Taylor: Probably an error in the box software, DVB-T2 is clearly 256QAM in the UK - see http://stakeholders.ofcom….pdf .
