*Sarah C: Bluebell Hill will transmit at 20kw on each mux, up from 3kw-4kW currently. This is quite a generous increase, as using the usual calculation to cover the existing analogue service area it would require 6kW.**
I don't really understand that (very non technical me) But - If you say it is good then I shall eagerly await switchover in the hope that I wont hafta watch TV in little squares - LOL Thanks KMJ!

Quote*Sarah C: Sorry Sarah, I wasn't trying to bamboozle you with figures, just showing that the signal will be stronger after switchover. As a general rule, if you enjoy reliable analogue reception before switchover in most cases you will have good Freeview reception after switchover.*
All I wanna do is to be able to watch TV without all this pixellation and sound loss so I will be happy when this is all over - As long as I get good signal - I live on a hill quite near Bluebell hill - So in theory I should get a good signal now - But I don't even though Bluebell hill is only like 5mins drive from me... So.... I shall pray that after switchover all will be well for me - Thank You very much for your help :-)

Can you tell me - Will the bluebell hill signal go up on the first day of switchover? (13th june) I am praying so as in the last few days trying to watch Pick TV has been hell with more pixellation than normal and stuff and it's been on 4 or 5 different channels also LOL. I am hoping that I just hafta suffer this till the 13th...

***Sarah C: Unfortunately it is only the BBC channels that will go to full power (and change frequency) on 13th June 2012. The remaining muxes, including Pick TV, will go to full power on 27th June 2012.***
That's a shame.....

How much of a boost will they put through after switchover? I am so sick of pixellating etc and losing signal - Just for the exact moment where I am listening to something - It's like it knows which words to cut out for me LOL
I really hope my signal will be better after switchover - My aerial being lower than people who live in houses etc already cos I am in a bungalow....
