Rob: Loft aerials with boosters are not good for reliable Freeview reception. If possible you should move the aerial to the roof and remove the amplifier.
You may find that removing the amplification device (or turning it down) will improve matters.

dutchman: At *ALL* transmitters, BBCA operates at full power, now 200kW up from 8kW, that's +14dB.

jb38: There is a LOT of data to keep a handle on, and rather annoyingly Ofcom publish a lot of their in PDF document you can't import.
The main issue today was just a programming error based on an assumption I made about six years ago.
It is amazing how much people get "on your case" when they discover a small error in the 733.4 megabytes of database that drives the site.
Still, I am always grateful when people point things out, because they get fixed that way!
