I don't see how you can possibly turn off analogue channels when half of those channels (ITV1 and Ch4) are pushed out on low power for Freeview. Will you be giving me a grant to boost reception?

D White: Digital UK's advertising is maddeningly simplistic.
Yes, analogue is switched off - in order to replace the analogue signals with far higher-power digital ones. See the 'Comparison of analogue and digital signal levels' above. The actual digital power levels will be lower than current analogue levels, but if anything the coverage areas are expected to be larger than current analogue coverage.
Basically, if you have good analogue reception, you should have good digital reception after switchover.
It looks like the pre-switchover digital power from Midhurst may be concentrated in one direction. All directional restrictions are removed at switchover, with transmissions moving to the main antenna that analogue transmissions use now, which may mean that the effective increase in your direction is even larger.
