Is it you usually after the last programme on BBC 2 the switch off occurs ? I've got a snowy black and white picture here in Brghtton...
Is any annoumencent made before also ?

Kieran R: As has previously been explained, Hannington has a 'notch' in its low-power digital coverage, with seriously reduced power transmitted to the east. This may be the cause of your current problems, though you have previously mentioned trees between you and the transmitter.
The high-power digital services will eventually transmit from the new main antenna, which does not have this notch. The notch is designed to protect reception of analogue channels from Guildford, so it cannot be fully removed until the London region switchover in April. The power will be increased to the maximum permitted, and the modes will be changed on 22 February, as advertised, however.
BBC A (Mux 1): 8 February (retune tomorrow after 6am)
D3&4, BBC B (Mux 2, B): 22 February
ArqA (Mux C): 4 April
SDN, ArqB (Mux A, D): 18 April
If you don't get all the muxes after retuning on 22 February, you will need to retune on the April dates to get them.
Digital UK's predictor continues to predict a good service for you on all multiplexes; between 22 February and 18 April the commercial muxes are predicted to be worse than now, as the power increase doesn't offset the additional margin needed after the mode changes. After the restriction is removed, 99-100% of locations in your grid square are predicted to get near-error-free reception 99% of the time. That figure *is* calculated on the basis of a good quality, reasonably high-gain, fairly directional roof-top aerial, with reasonably short downlead, without too many obstructions.
You've previously used Crystal Palace. That should be a good option for the PSBs but is expected to be poor for the COMs, as they will use the same frequencies as Rowridge. You're in the zone where Rowridge is too weak to be usable but still too significant a source of interference. The model used in predictions isn't as directional as most aerials actually are, so it may be better than predicted.
Do be aware when retuning that many boxes store the first version of the channels that they find, and any Hannington viewer may find that Crystal Palace is stored first - particularly when retuning after April, when CP will be 10 times its current power level.

Dave: Have you not seen the messages about switchover that have been popping up on your digital channels and being shown in-vision on your analogue ones for the last several months?

Dave: It most unlikely that you will be getting a signal from Hannington in BN1.

I have a 92 elelemt triax on a rotator actually so it is Hannington I am geting though weak...I use to receive many regions all ove the UK wth analogue years ago, grain free from Yorkshire and Central etc
I can not get anything digital currently only when there is a lift from Rowridge

Just a quick question:
Does the hannington mast transmit the digital freeveiw HD channels.
And if so why can`t I receive them?

Richard,
It will transmit HD channels from 22nd February.
