Hi
I'm one of the people in Brighton (Hove actually!) on the seafront, who is screened from the main Whitehawk . has been acceptable across the water from although it is fringe. reception from Rowridge has not been possible due to the low powers involved. After March 2012 do you think that the increased digital from Rowridge is likely to be enough to serve Brighton and Hove seafronts?
Thanks Arnie
