Who on earth are Arquiva? What does this word mean? I do wonder about digital TV. You get pictures that are perhaps marginally better than analogue, but often the sound is worse. The reduction in analogue signal power may con some folk into believing they are getting a better picture, but surely the only reason for killing analogue is that it is free to air!

Reynolds: The digital signal strength will provide robust coverage inside the current analogue service area on all transmitters.
Freeview is also free to air, hence the name...

I currently have sky tv,due to the fact that the reception in the Hastings area is irratic.I would like to switch to freeview, and I was told some years ago that the tramitter was only working at half its power, and when digital switchover came,this would be increased to full power therefore the signal would be much improved.I currently have a digital ariel with a booster installed.
