Hi,
Just bought an HD Freeview TV with HD tuner. I live in Tiverton (Canal Hill area) will I be able to get HD channels from Stockland Hill. Ordinary Freeview is pretty naff here from Stockland, not tried Tiverton relay tranny due to limited channels. Can just about get Mendip. I suspect you are going to tell me FreeSat or Sky is the way to go!

Ron Hagley: Why not use your local transmitter, that has Freeview HD on it?

Alan Phippen: The commercial operators regard the "public service" transmitters, such as this one, as uneconomic and as they can't profit from broadcasting from them.

As they have refused the offer of frequencies some years ago, there will be no additional multiplexes broadcast from here.

However, if you have an additional aerial pointing at the Mendip transmitter, you could get two of the three commercial multiplexes.

so if I get an aerial pointing to the Mendip I will then get all the Freeview channels

I guess freeview is not free to all it's done by post code

Alan Phippen: Freeview is "free" as it requires no subscription.

The public service channels are provided to everyone; some effort is needed to get the commercial channels in some places.

If I am reading things correctly, I understand there is a problem with the Tiverton Transmitter. Is it possible you can let me know when this will be resolved?

Thanks

I have been trying to decide between Freeview & Freesat for a system to replace my now defunct crt tv. I have read conflicting advice about the survival possibilities of these 2 platforms (eg, Freesat will win out because it has much greater capacity for HD chanels; Freeview will win out because it's not dependent on satellites it doesn't own). What's the danger of making the wrong choice, as those who plumped for Betamax rather than VHS did not so long ago? Any advice will be gratefully received.

Ian Turpin - Either way you will be on safe ground as far as the survival of the platforms are concerned. You can get a modern LCD/LED TV with both tuners onboard. A "Freesat" or "Freeview" PVR will give you more flexibility.

If You are served by a "Freeview Lite" transmitter then "Freesat" is the better option.

Although "Freesat" is a relatively new platform - not a Broadcaster as such - but providing an EPG it is backed by the BBC and ITV and it's more than meeting expectations as far as take up is concerned.
