How do we test our receiving equipment will work before the switchover?
Foxhall, Ipswich is unlikely to receive transmission from Felixstowe, Sudbury or Aldeburgh without a new aerial or repositioning.
Thanks

Felixstowe will be OFF-AIR from midnight. It is expected to be up-and-running again by mid-morning (the advice to installers says 9am). Ensure that the transmitter is fully running again before tuning in your digital box.
You can find progress reports at Digital UK - Relay transmitter switching times .
