Thanks again Briantist - I was confused by the fact that The Wrekin is shown on my page as being 28.0 km from my home, while Wrekin B is 28.1 km! Must be a very big mast!!

Allan Gainer: Sorry, for any confusion, it shouldn't show itself 100m apart. It certainly is taller than 100m.

Can you tell me what time on April 6th and 20th the switch over will take place.
I understand that bbc2 analogue will be switched off on April 6th but can not find what the frequancies of the digital multiplexes will be transmited between 6 April and 20 April. Can you advise.

Jim Corbett: The process starts at midnight and can take six to eight hours, depending on the transmitter.
The digital services continue to broadcast on the same frequencies until the final date, with the exception of PSB1 which broadcasts on the new frequency.

Jim Corbett: see The Wrekin transmitter page for frequencies. Where two sets of frequencies are used, with the transmitting aerials pointing in different directions, this site shows one set as a 'B' transmitter.
After switchover is fully complete, the main aerial will transmit digital signals to (roughly) the analogue coverage area, and different aerials in different directions are no longer required.
The BBC A multiplex will start up on BBC One's current analogue channel, so BBC One will be moving to C33, BBC Two's current analogue channel, on 6 April.
On the 20th of April, D3+4 and the HD multiplex launch at full power and final mode. Mux A moves to C49 from the 'B' aerials (currently Mux 2), while Mux C and D swap over. This appears to allow Mux D to launch in its final mode as ArqB, giving capacity for Sky Sports. (Mux C will also be in the final mode as ArqA.)
The commercial multiplexes will reach their final frequencies, modes and powers on 28 September, when you will have to retune again.

I have clear line of sight to the Wrekin and live 13 km from the transmitter. Normaly as you might expect I get good signal quality and strength > 95%.
However at certain times the signals can drop as low as 50% causing a breakup of the picture.
Is this due to some changes at the transmitter or a problem within my reception/freeview box.
Thanks in advance

Since the partial switchover on 6th April I have been able to retune most of my equipment, but have not been successful with my Alba STB8 set top box. Although I followed the instructions for a first time instalation; of the BBC channels, only BBC1 is consistently available. I get a NO CHANNEL message and a list of new channels and deleted channels which bear no resemlance to reality!
