Hello,

I recently moved to Henley with my fully functional digital TV and freeview box.
However I can only get the 4 analog channels here.

Do I need to change my antenna or wait for the switchover to see any of the Freeview digital channel ?

Thanks
JB

Sorry for the lack of precision.
I thought the same would apply across Henley on Thames.

The code is RG9 1 SJ

Thanks

JBC: Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the trade reception predictor indicates that nothing at all is possible on that code until next April, and even when it is its a Freeview "Light" transmitter, this meaning that its a PSB only station using three multiplexes. (i.e: limited channels)

Crystal Palace is shown as being possible from 18th of April 2012, but not at levels I would personally consider to be guaranteed glitch free. If I was in your situation I would be considering Freesat as by far the best option.

Thanks JB38,

I am not very keen on putting a satellite dish, so I would be happy to keep the few channels I have now.

If I understand you correctly I do not need to change my old antenna to get the Digital channel, just wait until the switchover

Thanks

JB
