Bernard: Bit hard to be specific without a full postcode.
Not all Freeview receivers have the same level of sensitivity, but you would expect the high power signals that will be provided after switchover to work with your newer equipment.
The best thing to do whilst you wait is to use your old Freeview box.

KatyP: I would suggest you also use an external aerial. You don't need a large one, as you are close to a powerful transmitter, but you do need a "line of sight" from the aerial to the top of the Crystal Palace mast.

Binky: Sorry, but it is quite clear that the TV Licence is handed over to the BBC and the BBC uses it as shown in the annual accounts - http://downloads.bbc.co.u….pdf .
I'm not really sure where your "flying through the air" thing is coming from, but it is plain wrong.
Ofcom's Licensing section - Ofcom | Ofcom Licensing - deal with the co-ordination of frequencies required for radiocommunications.
The BBC also pays some money - see TV tax on the TV tax | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - to pay for the Switchover Help Scheme, but this again is VIA the BBC.
When the old government suggested the BBC contribute £14m from the Licence Fee to "help Channel 4 with switchover costs" this was deemed illegal - see Government withdraws proposal to give Channel 4 state aid of £14m - Telegraph .
I don't know what capacity you can possibly have worked "worked in satellite communications regarding television so know this to be fact" and get so much wrong.
Sorry, but you should really get your information right before calling them "facts".
