Tunbridge Wells
I live in Post Code TN4 9QU and had trouble in getting freeview in 2006. I was told by by my MP that on swichover all transmitters will rise in power, to ensure that digital reception has the same degree of coverage that analoge now does, I checked on the web which transmitter I shoud use and it recomended the one I currently use, Crystal Palace. However the freeview table suggests that I will get no signal from there.

Hugh Jones: Switchover has not happened yet for the London region. Assuming that you can receive the four analogue channels from Crystal Palace now, then come April you will get the digital channels from there.
