Chris.SE: thanks guys i can go to sleep tonight..
my main aerial is a dumb old loft one pointing 253deg from Yapton to Rowridge . On the ATV site it is similar to the XB16 but shorter (?)..but.. apart from the roof material i have the added bonus of 3 massive Maritime Pine trees about 200yrs old and 70ft high, at least, 50yards away, directly between me and the isle of Wight.
my neighbour has a similar aerial set up but outside on a massive pole at least 10ft above his roof height. as i am on limited funds and cant afford a professional to come and do their magic, so i have to work with the bits and bobs i have got ,
i suspect if my neighbour sat on top if that pole he could see the isle of wight on a clear day. by the way

hi
i use Linux , Kaffeine and VLC software, to receive my TV from Rowridge.
using VLC i can tune in to any individual Mux using its frequency value input to VLCs capture device option
when i do this i get way way more stations than are available on Freeview.
however they seem to be off broadcast or encoded.. i dont know which.
what are all these extraneous channels and who can see them?
please help me sleep at night as i am experiencing FOMO symptoms.....
thanks tony

so confused here in Yapton near Bognor
this site says ALL the muxes are either 200kW or 50kW for V and H polarisations
but another site.. the ATV one, says the first 3 are both 200kW but the second 3 are 50kW on horizontal, or they are also 200kW ONLY on the VERTICAL polarisation..
i am having trouble picking up mux com5. 482.2MHz Dave etc but no trouble with any of the others
what gives?
is this site giving best latest information? or is it telling porkies?
