Hey, thanks, Adam, most useful.
I THINK that means that I should be able to get what I'm seeking: The BBC1 South regional news from Southampton ("South Today")- but I don't necessarily need this in HD (sorry, I didn't explain that fully) - but I DO want the other HD channels, coming from Hannington, that hitherto I've received from Crystal Palace.
If this provision is already in place from Hannington, I can approach the Aerial co. to ask them to come to do a test, to check we have the sufficient Hannington signal (about 2 miles due south of Reading town centre).
Thanks - if you could kindly confirm I've got the situation right, I'd be most grateful.
Best and regards,
Graham

Thanks again, Adam. That looks good - I'll call them tomorrow! Re the "2 aerials" possibility, the first time the guys came (some months ago - no charge - good of them) they did mention 2 aerials as a possib, but warned that sometimes the one aerial "shades" the other - ie interferes with the signal from the other.
I think we'd not need Crystal Palace at all in the future - other than if the Hannington signal was "shaky" for receiving all our usual progs - in which case, we might stick with CP, but if the Hannington signal was strong enough to enable us to get South Today, we might ask the guys to install the 2nd aerial- although that's a lot of extra work and cost for a 10-minute 6-nightly opt-out!.....although I guess ITV Meridien in HD might be a bonus!
Main reason for seeking South Today is a. we used to be able to receive it pre-Freeview, and b. BBC London's opt-out seems to have nothing but crime, arrests and other mal-doing (perhaps that's the way the world is!) whereas South Today has a much more regional/local flavour.......and I don't think I'm the first to express this!
Renewed thanks and best regards,
Graham

We have HD-capable Humax box & TV receiver and now that Meridian & Crystal Palaxce DSOs are done, want to switch our HD Freeview to Hannington, so we receive BBC South Freeview HD rather than Crystal Palace, as we've done up to now.
But Reading Aerial Services just told me that Freeview HD from Hannington is not yet available. I want to delay having them in until Hannington HD IS available. When will that be, please?
Thanks, Graham
