What will happen to fm radio from the East Dean repeater transmitter after digital changeover, and if no change will I get a better signal?
link to this comment |
Frank Tucker: The current "digital switchover" relates to television only.
East Dean transmitting station relays only television; there are no radio transmitters at the site.

Seem to be erecting new pole/mast here in East Dean next to old pole which had old 4 (analogue ?) aerials at top with one receiving aerial from Heathfield (?). New pole has metal plate with a big hole in it -- presumably to mount aerials on top (?) and there are now two receiving aerials on old mast -- doesn't make sense ??
Any ideas ?
