Will all areas of East Grinstead be able to receive digital reception via an arial (cum April 2012) or will some areas have to seek reception service via satellite (i.e. by freesat or Sky)?

Dorothy Johnston: Its really dependant on where you reside within the East Grinstead area, although if you do get reception it will be on a three multiplex Freeview "light" basis where only public services are being broadcast, namely BBC / ITV / the HD service.
It may even be possible to pick up Freeview from Crystal Palace once it starts on high power next April, but only a post code would enable your reception possibilities to be checked.

I can only receive from the East Grinstead transmitter, are there plans in the future to expand the amount of channels to the same variety as the main transmitters i.e film4, Dave etc.

MW.No is the answer to your question !

MW: No. The Commercial broadcasters do not wish to invest over a 1,000 small transmitters like East Grinstead.
They achieve 90% coverage from 81 of the largest transmitters (largest by viewer population). To include the small transmitters would roughly double their cost of transmission whilst only adding 8.5% of the population to their potential viewer base.
They have no "Public Service" obligation and operate purely for profit.
The only thing you can do is investigate the possibility of receiving from another transmitter that carries the Commercial channels. In some cases this may mean going to some lengths.

To all concerned,sometimes it has been found that the strongest signals from any transmitter have been
found at ground level espically hilly areas or places below the radio horizon,if you can't get steady reception
on the roof,try searching around,it has worked.Radio waves are so unpredicable,they do the strangest things
at times.

The East Grinstead transmitter has Freeview Lght.
But your chart showing how transmission frequencies have changed over time for this transmitter, shows there are changes due on 31March 2018.
Can you tell me what these changes are please.
