Below are all of Eddie Stacey's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Is anybody aware of any plans to broadcast all channels in HD in future as this would have further ramifications for people even with digital TVs (without a second tuner),ie yet another box and more expense even though you are getting more than acceptable picture quality and don't neccessarily want it anyway?

Hi everybody
IP5 just east of Ipswich. Only just receiving Channel 63. No surprise taking into account the low power transmission and the 810 MHz frequency. Signal strength is about 5 or 6 and quality about 2. As such, I fully expect future reception & recording problems.
The fun we have. Not!

Channel 54 as well as 63 up the pictures, so to speak. Must be the fog currently afflicting the Ipswich area. This whole digital enterprise is a complete fiasco. bearing in mind the cost of new cabling, receiving equipment and wideband aerial equipment.
Pressure needs to be brought on the people responsible for all this retuning with regard to the inadequate transmission and frequency levels of certain channels.

Viz-a-viz reception problems, particularly with channel 63. I've been through this at length with Digital uk to no avail as well as taking it up with BBC East after their Tacolneston switch-over report.
The high freqency and low transmission strength is obviously a problem but nobody, including my useless local MP could care less.
I can only suggest that people should keep complaining to their local media outlets.
If nobody complains, nothing will be done.

HD only broadcasting will neccessitate extra expenditure for new kit even for so called HD ready TVs and, as such, seems a virtual certainty for the future at some point. Just as a point of interest the Advertising Standards Authority believes that the term HD ready is perfectly acceptable as 'most people understand that they will need to purchase extra equipment'. This tends to fly in the face of newspaper reports of many people being disappointed when HD broadcasts could not be received on HD ready TVs during the last football World Cup, for instance.

Thanks for your extremely helpful website information and contributors' questions and answers. It has certainly been far more useful than digitaluk and that annoying robot!
