Tom,Mark is correct.But if you were looking at an Aerial only install,just to feed to your main outlet.May i say wait until after Sept 28th 2011.Combine two Aerials.Wideband Aerial directed at Wrekin and High Gain Group CD Aerial directed at Long Mountain,on the same mast,into the appropriate Diplexor,connected to your downlead.Digital signals in your area are strong enough to combine without amplification when both transmitters settle on final powers and frequecies/channel numbers,after the above date.I dare say that will cost more than £110.

Just to add to the above,your welsh services are likely to be assigned to the 800's,on your freeview TV/set top box.

Thank's guys for clearing that up.I notice also there's also other errors in the notes of the published document too.

ok.Look at note c,page2,Central document Lark Stoke,and Briantist,you still haven't altered Arfon service area,still showing only 4 watts,as opposed to 2kw.
But hey,you have a great site!I'm sure you would agree it is important to have published information,accurate.

Long Mountain,This surely must take the award for the UK's most unreliable TV transmitter.

Lark Stoke and Bromsgrove,3 com's muxes will not transmit on full powers and final allocated channels until the 28th Sept 2011,as well as The Wrekin,
Following Sutton Coldfield switch over on 21st Sept.
Will be interesting to gauge how robust the digital signal will become with 3 transmitters acting as a signal frequency network SFN

A bit of good news,is that Arqiva A and Arqiva B will double in power to 2kw between the 2nd stage of switch over(April 20th)and post- switchover retune(sept 28th)on the Wrekin.
This may give the Bridgnorth area of south-east shropshire a sniff of a chance of receiving all 6 muxes.Mux C and D have been severely nulled,since inception.

The use of Channel 20,although temporary,'sends alarm bells ringing through my head'.Are you sure all TV's and Digi boxes tune from this frequency?
Is it not possible to use an readily useable clear frequency between channels 21-68?The engineers are having a laugh.I know maybe it's a printing error,lol.
