Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Just a quick note to say that I have, in line with my previous post, not been able to answer every single post left on the site.
I have been suffering from insomnia and this has been effecting my concentration, and yesterday I had the sad news of a death in the family.
As I want to cover today's Ofcom 4G auction announcement and how it will effect (or not) Freeview reception, I shall be doing that.
Many thanks to those who are able to help out.

@Tom Fletcher: Loft aerials can be OK for digital terrestrial reception, it just depends on where you are. My uncle has got a TV aerial in the loft and there are also trees surrounding his house and other neighbouring house next to his house, yet the digital terrestrial reception is perfect.

Peter Barker: We really need a full postcode to offer detailed advice.
Freesat is unaffected by the switchover. Your main TV will continue to work fine.
Amplifiers may no longer be necessary after switchover. If you have problems, try removing the amplifier. If it is an amplified splitter you would need to get a passive splitter instead.
If the problem on analogue is ghosting, but not snowy, it will probably be alright after switchover. If it is snowy, you may need to have the aerial put outside.
You will need to get set-top boxes for the two small TVs.
Alternatively, you could get extra Freesat boxes and run new cables from the dish to those boxes, and have Freesat on all the TVs.

Slow down a bit Brian, you're too young to burn yourself out and we all need your expertise. :-)
