Connections are a nightmare!

I have a Samsung HD TV, into which goes via a Pioneer Analogue DVD Recorder... a COMAG HD FTA Sat receiver, A BT Vision box, and a SKY HD box, wires all over the place, plus an RF modulator for the COMAG so that I can feed the TV upstairs via the 2nd RF on the SKY box !

I live at CO7 7GD midway Colchester-Clacton, before the magic day I could get the likes of Film 4, Yesterday, VIVA etc, now since either 6th july or 20th July they have gone!
I have a High Gain aerial on a 10 foot pole fixwed just below the eves, and a booster/splitter in the loft, is there too uch signal, nor enough still, or just bad luck until 2012 ! ?

Hiya
the headline: Sudbury transmitter group switchover "ends".
is not quite accurate, as there is a retune in November, and yet more changes next year in June 2012! when maybe we will get all of the channels they said we would get on 20th July 2011 !

Thankyou for the answer, I do wonder why we could not have done it all in one big hit?
one day analogue, next day digital, may have caused a bit of hassle, but not as much hassle as the way they have done it I would have thought!

I see on the postcode for CO77GD BLUEBELL HILL is now tope of the list, so is that telling me I ought to swing around and leave Sudbury, which I have to say is hit a miss at this location and go for Blubell?
(2 year old High Gain, Wideband aerial)

Confused from Frating (near Clacton) Essex..... it always used to say my transmitter was Sudbury in the 'old' days, but now inputting postcode it says that BLUEBELL HILL is my ideal transmitter, is that right ? (it also goves Dover as an alternate too)

Now that we have completed DSO and all transmitters are at their full running power, if I swing my aerial around Wide Band High Gain would I get Bluebell or Dover as well as I get Sudbury? My PC is CO77GD
Thnx
