Dave M, in Hook you are more likely to get Freeview from London until the switchover next year. Reception in Hook however is not guaranteed so you could spend out on a large high gain aerial and amplifier to no avail. The trees around your immediate locality are also a problem. Only way to guarantee reception is with Freesat and a dish.

I live in Yateley GU46 and have consistently good analogue reception on 3 TVs.
Sadly our Freeview is generally poor ranging from watchable to very bad pixelation and audio breakup.
When the digital signal is bad we switch to analogue which is consistently good.
There seems little doubt that our aerial and cabling is up to spec given the good analogue service and from time to time we have very good stable digital reception.

Geoff Critcher: If you currently have good analogue reception you can expect good digital reception on the PSB muxes from switchover (8th February and 22nd February 2012) when the digital coverage is expected to match the current analogue service area, and will use the frequencies currently used by the analogue transmissions. Com muxes adopt post DSO frequencies at switchover but have to wait until 4th April and 18th April 2012 for final power increases. The present digital transmissions have coverage restrictions to protect analogue services from Guildford, and in some locations could suffer from interference from Guildford.

Digital disadvanted - those of us that live in West Surrey and North East Hants,sit on the edge of Crystal Palace and Hannington Txer coverage.
Digital Mux drop out is predicted and seen.
[The M3 Camberley/Fleet Digital orphans]
I note that none of the surrounding Txers in the South are designed to serve this area.
Are there any plans to correct next year, or will we continue to fall between stools.. [Tx's]

In response to Dave M's query about weak signal in Hook from Hannington: - I have read that the Hannington transmitter limits its power output in an easterly direction (ie towards Hook) to avoid interference with a local transmitter in Guildford. This limit will be removed when the channels are re-allocated at digital switchover in 2012.

Wellwornsalt: After switchover the coverage of Freeview will match the current analogue coverage.
