Yes,I can receive the new 100kw high powered D3+4 multiplex from Bilsdale on frequency 29 here in Halifax,HX2 9JY,House No3,using the borrowed group W wideband aerial in my bedroom with my signal booster/amplifier on giving 99% Signal Quality and 71% Signal Strength.Without the signal booster it pixellates,but using my normal set-top aerial with/without amplifier frequent pixellations,breaking up to No Signal mode.
As for BBCB on frequency 23 from Bilsdale as my set-top box is non-HD,Signal Quality 0% understandably,but Signal Strength 69%,so a decent HD box/TV can receive HD programming from Bilsdale in my locality.BBCA on frequency 26 from Bilsdale already 99% Signal Quality and 69% Signal Strength again the same as two weeks ago using my borrowed group W wideband aerial in my bedroom with signal booster/amplifier on.Will update again soon relating to the 50kw COM multiplexes from Bilsdale,if they are attainable at my abode indicated earlier in this text.

Update concerning the 50kw COM muxs from Bilsdale.All receivable here but with occasional pixellations,again using my borrowed group W wideband aerial in my bedroom with the signal booster/amplifier on,again without this reception is problematic.I will conduct further tests in due course.

Here in Leeds I can get a decent signal on the BBCA Mux, but none of the other muxes are of a good enough quality for the TV to pick up. Guess no ITV1 Tyne Tees for me.

Here in Bramham I can receive all multiplexes with a 4 element indoor aerial .The aerial is in a down stairs window.The 100kw muxes are Quality 100% Signal around 75% . 50kw Quality 100% Signal app 60%.

Thomas: The DUK predictor suggests for you that BBCA and BBCB will be "variable" but gives nothing for D3&4. I wonder if this is due to the way in which the signal disperses, or whether it is due to interference from another transmitter. Waltham would seem the only likely candidate as it uses C29 but not C26. This could perhaps be a possibility if your aerial points away from Bilsdale and to Emley Moor.
