We have been getting very poor reception on all analogue channels. The picture was perfect before Christmas. We have tried retuning, with no better results. ITV is so snowy, it is impossible to watch. The local Curries manager has said there is trouble with analogue transmissions. Please advise.

Bill Wells: There are no transmitter problems. I suggest you need to have your aerial checked.

I live in St Leonards St Stamford & have to use a booster to get the analogue signal. Will I be able to receive the digital signal? Will I need to change my aerial?

Diana Rees: Yes, you will get Freeview "Light" with your existing equipment. You do not need to change your aerial.

aaron: Digital services replace the analogue service from the Stamford transmitter. The BBC digital service replaces BBC Two tonight - you will probably have noticed that BBC Two has already gone off-air. Leave your aerial alone.
The digital service is expected to be up and running by 9am. Check Digital UK - Relay transmitter switching times for updates.
For the next two weeks, ITV1 analogue will be on button 2 on your TV, as it has actually replaced BBC Two analogue - this is due to ITV1 analogue having replaced BBC Two analogue at Waltham, in order that BBC digital can start up on ITV1's old channel there.
In two weeks time, the remaining analogue services will be shut down and be replaced by ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 digital (and some associated channels). See above for the list.
To check whether you could get a full service from Sandy Heath or from Waltham, we'd need a full postcode.
