Sandy Heath (Central Bedfordshire, England) Full Freeview transFriday 4 March 2011 10:58PM
Stansted
Hi. 7 year old Aerial. I think is a Televes 1044 wideband not Group A (one of the forks has fallen off). + 16dB on catalogue - Fixed on mast on gable end. Not keen of chimney fixings.
Masthead amp Televes 8127? stated as + 15dB
Two way power unit Televes 8203.
Question is whether I can just swing this round to Sandy Heath and then get all the freeview channels ( ITV etc.)
Problems with line of sight for Xtal Palace as there is a mass high trees circa 100m from the aerial AND a Police station relay mast at 75m in the same direction. Therefore even when XTal Palace switches over to full 200kW next year , will the line of site issues offset the increased power?
No obvious near obstructions facing toward Sandy Heath. Thanks again. RDD

Advice please. Stansted Essex. Sony set VTX D800u set top box, External (newish - 5 yrs) wideband aerial with mast head amp.
Currently tuned to Xtal Palace right on fringes of. Generally C25&C28&C34 OK,C32&C29 So/So, C22 Not existent. Switch over due April 2012.
Would I be better changing aerial direction to Sandy Heath after Digital switchover 13/04/2011? & would Xtal Palace after switchover 2012 be better reception than Sandy Heath 2012
Opinions please.
Thanks
