Re: Freeview Lite: No ITV3 etc. Yes, I have also understood Lite will not carry these (from H-O-T mast), but Crystal Palace works from central Henley if you have a clear view SE ish. Band A Horiz aerial (beware - not same as for H-O-T mast). The signal is much better than pre-switchover and quite reliable. You may need a masthead amp or other booster as it's not strong, although seems pretty clean and stable. Frequent dropouts before due to local noise (fridges etc.), virtually none now. Bigger the aerial the better for noise immunity. If you don't get all channels with auto tune, may be 'cos of weak signal - explore using manual tuning.
