Below are all of PETER HUGHES's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Hi there. Has anyone else noticed, recently in Clacton that there is a steady increase in the rooftop aerials pointing to the DOVER transmitter? Clacton has a local LIGHT transmitter, which, of course, offers only the so called public service channels. Recently, on some days SUDBURY has been erratic with very poor Channel 56 (ITV 4 etc) which freezes or breaks up and sound sqwarks and hiccups. Even Channel 41 (Anglia ITV,Channels 4 and 5 etc), has been touchy (normal readings I get are 81% strength and 97% quality but disturbed readings fluctuating all over the place although BBC radio and tv group on channel 44 has remain rock steady all the time) Might consider another aerial for Dover but it will mean wrong regional news (Meridian etc).

Hi there. Please see my comments posted today on the DOVER FREEVIEW TRANSMITTER page, concerning Sudbury and the noticeable gradual increase of aerials, in Clacton, pointing to the Dover transmitter.

Brilliant. I had missed this BBC Radio report on Border television, so thanks for this opportunity.
I still mourn the break up of the ITV regional network, as it was and Carlton TV who "snatched" the London weekday franchise from THAMES, were mainly responsible for this,along with Granada. Often wonder that if THAMES has not lost the franchise whether things would have been different.
