my location is not supposed to be acessed via the Oxford transmiter I have been using it rather than the Icomb transmiter for a few years and it has been quite reasonble reception but sometimes drops out, Can any of the more expert in these matters tell me if it is likely to be even better after change over

Mr J Bond: Well the trade predictor doesn't show any reception as being possible at your location from Icomb Hill until the 14th September 2011, even then only MuxA (Ch28), with Mux2 (Ch25) & Mux.HD (Ch22) joining on 28th September, all three Mux's indicating good reception.
Oxford indicates no reception being presently possible until the 14th September, and even then only poor reception on Mux1 (Ch53) with this rather than improving actually getting worse towards 2013.
I would consider that you are in a Freesat situation for reliability of signal, as its just pot luck you have been receiving anything at all.
