So we have just 4 of the 6 multiplex.what a con..if the tv companies said BEFORE we all bought the boxes instalation etc, then i would have kept sky!if we all complain to offcom..or if its a matter of cost,then why not ask all the residence the LIGHT repeater supplies,depending on cost, to pay a one off fee to install the required equipment?

tony: Are you sure that you are out of range for reception of the full Freeview service from Crystal Palace? You would, of course require the correct aerial to receive it reliably, just as you did in the analogue days if you wanted Channel Five from Croydon. To be fair, you do expect to receive more channels with a subscription to Sky or V.M., but it is a fair point that advertisements for Freeview and DAB radio do need to make it clearer that provision of all services is not universal. Similarly it needs better information on "HD ready" equipment with regards to inability to receive Freeview HD (or Saorview in Ireland). Your idea for a one off contribution to cover the cost of installing the extra muxes on relay transmitters is interesting, but at this stage when Ofcom is looking at selling as much spectrum as possible for 4G, would be unlikely to be considered due to frequency shortage even if funding was available.

tony: I cancelled Sky and got Freesat when it started because I had read about the Lite service on the relays. I have no regrets !
Having said that, one of my neighbours in Wooburn Manor Park gets a fair signal from Crystal Palace from his chimney-level aerial and is considering getting a better one installed. Wooburn is quite variable in it's CP reception, but there ARE locations where it works reasonably well.
So, if you can get ANY sort of signal from CP, you might want to consider an aerial upgrade.
Otherwise, since you already have a Sky dish, you could consider Freesat.
Compare the full Freeview channel list with Freesat's and see what you think.
Hope this helps.
And YES, the Freeview adverts don't make it clear that Lite relays offer a very limited channel line-up !

tony: From what I remember, the leaflets Digital UK delivered to every household before switchover did mention that you may not get all of the channels (15 vs 40 depending on whether or not you got your signal from a relay). And if you had called or visited the Digital UK website, I would have told you how many channels you were expected to receive...
