Sorry to break the bad news folks,but after the final stage for viewers,from Wednesday 23 November 2011 onwards,the current Group C/D aerials (ch's 48-68) for Tacolneston will probably need changing to preferably a Group E type (ch's 35-68),as on the above date 2 of the 6 frequencies,SDN on ch 42 and ArqA on ch 45 will be out of the Group C/D range,the other 4 frquencies on ch 50 ArqB,ch 55 BBCA,ch 59 D3+4 and ch 62 BBCB (HD) will remain within Group C/D range.A or Group W aerial can be used as an alternative as these aerials although quite useless for lower frequencies are quite good for higher especially in the case of Tacolneston after switchover.

Mark Fletcher: Which, to be fair, is the whole point of the coloured lines and stars under "Transmission frequencies: Wednesday 23rd November 2011"

Hi
Does anyone else have the same problem as me? I have Bt vision box, Topfield pvr and Panasonic tv. I can only get BBC1 2 3 and 301 on the Topfield. The Panasonic and BT vision box both say too weak.

Any ideas please?

thank you

Question.
I live about 5 miles from the . With the changes on the "commercial Muxs" am I likely to have to change ariel or will my proximity mean I should still get a decent (i.e. less than idea ariel but loads of signal sort of cancelling each other out).

I'm afraid I don't know what type of ariel I have at the moment (its yargi type, horizontal elements are flat'ish X's and there are 6 horizontal elements, spacing going transmitter end to reflector end 13.2, 10.5, 9, 9.2,4.2cm and it has a black cap in the end pointing at the transmitter).
