jb38. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
I just noticed that the "enhanced Freeview reception prediction" for my post code CM9 4SF shows Blue Bell Hill as the 1st choice (Dover is 2nd choice). It's a line-of-sight transmitter but 29 miles away, isn't that a bit too far on it's current low power? No point in waiting for BBH to go to full power as Sudbury changes at similar time.

steve bevan: Well although predictors (any!) do have their faults because they cannot really cater properly for reception problems that may be in existence caused by for instance the local terrain, the Digital UK's trade view predictor (link below) which I use as a guide shows Bluebell Hill in effect as being no-go for your area, as everything seen is a mixture of poor or variable, or in some cases nothing at all.
Dover on the other hand is of course shown as presently being possible, but as far as reliability is concerned this only really applies to the PSB muxes, as although from 27th June two of the three commercial muxes may well come on board but with the permanent status of variable, and not even good at that! and nothing at all shown for the ArqB multiplex.
There would be nothing stopping you from experimenting as in nearly every iffy reception area little pockets of good reception exist, but rather than changing the aerial which as aforementioned wouldn't in my opinion really achieve anything, using an amplifier of about 15dB or so inline with it, the dB figure mentioned being ideal for experiments.
