I know the c/o does not affect digital radio, it just seems strange that everything has suddenly picked up in the area. We have three dab sets in the house (inc one by Pace) and of the lot the Roberts portable works the best. This area has always been in a blackspot for television as well as radio, the improvement in DAB is welcome but will not influence me in going down that road away from FM until things improve.
As to tuning televisions, I have three sets and one digital HDD box, so pulling leads and manually adding programs later is a difficult process. I'll stick to shuffling channels around as I only have to do it once.

Some peculiarities down here in darkest Coldwaltham. Before switchover the DAB radio was atrocious, reception was bitty at best. Since the c/o the Dab has improved with around 60% of the channels available. we are still finding that Heathfield transmitter strength is overpowered the Midhurst transmitter, so after a factory reset it's a case of identifying the Midhurst channels that went to 800 on the television and do some juggling around with the channel menu. An annoyance as one oversight by the switchover people was a lack of station ident being broadcast, you have to wait for local news to come on in order to find out exactly what you are watching.
