Julian: I did say they would reply...
It is the radio version of What is the Inversion Effect and why does it effect my Freeview TV reception?

Trevor Harris: BBC TWO HD will replace the BBC HD channel later this year. I have no idea which BBC programmes are first shown on Sky. I can't find any.

Josh: No, C36 is already reserved for COM9 in a UK-wide SFN. See More Freeview capacity - COM7, COM8 and COM9 - in the 600MHz band | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and COM7, COM8 and COM9 part II - which transmitters are "in group" | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice . Limavady and Brougher Mountain are the two UK transmitters not planned to broadcast COM9.
You can already use the SCART connection on a Freeview HD box to watch the HD channels in SD (but not RGB!) on a non-HD set.
Quite why anyone is still selling DVB-T equipment in the UK anymore is a good question!
I've got to do the maths on the minimux configuration to work out if RTE2 will be in HD.

Ian Thomson: It is more likely to be a fault with the box. Have you tried another Freeview box on the same set?

Mike Dimmick: I think the information I have been given about C36 was ... highly speculative.
From what I understand that on 24th October 2012 there will be frequency changes on Saorview also, but I'm not sure if any of these moves would actually free up C36.
So, looking at what is available for Brougher Mountain, C30 would appear to be in-group (group A) and is currently clear in NI after switchover (used for Mux 1 before DSO) - UK TV Frequency map - channel C30 (546.0MHz) before switchover map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
Black Mountain is group B, but the Divis is group A... If a SFN were possible, C30 would be in-group for Divis but way out for Black Mountain itself...
Carnmoney Hill is group B too.
Looking at what's free in NI after switchover in group B - UK TV Frequency map - channel C48 (690.0MHz) before switchover map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and UK TV Frequency map - channel C51 (714.0MHz) before switchover map | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice seem the most likely candidates.

jean harris: It is hard to be specific without a postcode, but Freeview HD is reported to be working correctly at Hannington.
