Re Wrekin Transmitter. I note from your web site that not all channels will benefit from a power increase in the April 2011 switchover.

"Arqiva multiplexes will remain on their pre-switchover frequencies and powers"

Will these have increased power in September? If so what to?

I live in the Tern Valley at Market Drayton and despite an aerial upgrade, most of the non-BBC channels are either unwatchable of suffer continuous pixelation. I was hoping these would improve with the switchover.

Thank you for the responses. Steve, yes I have a masthead amp and an amplified distributor - we have 3 TV's. The aerial fitter said we had the best aerial (highest gain) he could supply as well.

I suppose I'm really curious to know what the mux power outputs will be come post September. If these are unable to give a decent reception we'll have to consider Freesat instead.
