mrdtv: Excellent news. I suspect if you clear all your channels out of your set-top box London will go first as the multiplex is on the lowest frequency.

SIMON HANDLEY: I agree, but my freeview is in the television, so know it's very unlikely an overpower problem,

Michael Forrest: An interesting experience you had there.... At least the transmitter stayed up, unlike the original Emley Moor which got pulled down by the metal ropes contracting in the cold. Who would have thought it would snow in Yorkshire?

SIMON HANDLEY: The over strong signal problem is restricted to Freeview boxes. It is caused by having a oversized aerial or unnecessary boosters.
