richard, both sutton coldfield (birmingham) and nottingham (waltham/kimberley) are suplied from an aerial and not a dish. if you are watching tv using a dish the switchover does not affect you mate. if its the aerial you are using then local news and weather should be from your area (nottingham) or not (sutton coldfield)

lee, i would take it that the central tv you recieve is east midland rather than west midland. some reports are reading that waltham will need a retune in april, where as all reports state nottingham will need a retune. both transmitters will show the same local news. if you lose channels, retune

it seems a company called avc is involved with the bbc switchover at £40 scheme? i have had to go to 4 people unhappy with this scheme and know of other workers not happy with a company within the cai and rdi structure? i think there will be more to come from this and makes you wonder about the barriers of rdi and cai who are there to help/protect the public?

i know this is a long shot but, had a phone call today in which the caller from this area says he use to get ch5 from ntl (virgin) after previous work which he lost a while back (seems sure and only thro his video) but today lost bbc2. only logical answer is this transmitter and the east switchover? but no changes till aug 17? any changes missed? will it lose bbc2 thro nottm relay changes? if nottm relay serves eastwood or waltham? cheers brian

terry ireson, did you run the main aerial to his tv set with the 26db mast amp or with out it? that would cause more over power than an 8way which you would need in the system

caz, yes to the scart question but to be fair the quality would probably be poor, if the videos are favorite films then dvd's rereleased will be better quality, and cheap, if not, you WILL know a friend with a dvd/video combi where the process is much easier. hope this helps

can't believe it but 2 customers today had the same trouble, hit nail on head mike (so to speak) all 3 on virgin straight to tv without a box! 5 turned off a while back and bbc2 yesterday. both them sorted but feel sure the original person from the post is on eastwood transmitter, so freesat for him i think? where does eastwood get its signal from?

ann tait, are you refering to a digital picture or an analogue picture? digital will be of high quality but suffer from break up or squares!! if its analogue (which i think it is) the larger flat screens will give less quality picture tho only slightly ! im guessing that the tv has been set up on autotune and you are receiving pictures from more than one transmitter. due to strengths of signal the tv may store the wrong picture on ,say, bbc1 but there may be a better bbc1 on ,say, channel 9? i would go thro all the stored channels to see if your stations are repeated and better pictures are on higher channel numbers?

alex g .... what would you recommend for a 7 bedroom house with a tv in kitchen and consevetory? 10 aerials? and why have mast amps + distributters if they dont work? what do you do in weak signal areas? you have misread something mate?
