Below are all of Tony Jarvis's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Gentlemen, can we have it all clear, inquiring as a general ignoramous in these matters; question: is Freeview digital - or however it might be described - up and running or not and in what guise. I can understand KMJ,Derby's point that the signal from Sudbury is not up to full strength and may therefore fall off a cliff, such as I've observed.As a matter of fact at 17.00 today I am still getting as far as I've explored, excellent reception. To put my question another way: what are the relative purposes of testing per se at night and that of reduced power running during the day that I perceive.
Thank you for the advice re. aerials, Have you an opinion re. log-periodic aerials, that I have seen discussed elsewhere.

Briantist, I am sorry, we seem to speak a different language, I've not suggested that overnight tests were a problem, I simply wished to discover their nature. Thank you and goodbye I'll get my info elsewhere in future.

at CM34TW I have installed a Manhattan Plaza DT-100+ still using my very old arial as originally orientated mounted on the chimney of two storey house. I get an excellent picture though have not fully explored al available channels; there is occasional break up so I may need a better wideband arial sometime. What surprises me is that so much has been going on that has not been made more obvious to the general public - I've only just been prompted to investigate through google - clearly there are test periods going on since I can receive freeview only periodically.
