Brian : I note the WINTER HILL Arq B power is still showing as 12.5kW above, shouldn't this have increased to 100kW by now (in line with the Sutton Coldfield final switchover), has something gone wrong ?

Does this mean they can improve the picture quality on some of the existing main standard Freeview channels which can be pretty poor ?

My neighbour in NORTH MACCLESFIELD who has not replaced his old aerial since moving in in 1991 now tells me he is getting a perfect signal on Film 4 & ITV4 from WINTER HILL. Prior to Thursday 22nd Sep his picture kept breaking up.
I told him this was due to the ARQ B power increase.

Mike Roberts : RE MOVIES FOR MEN from WINTER HILL this is very strange I live 39 miles from Winter Hill here in North Macclesfield & I get a perfect picture on this channel and CHANNEL M on the MEN Multiplex ??

Pat : You can buy attenuators that allow you to introduce the capacity to vary the signal strength as a half way measure.

I'd be interested to know how many more viwers can now see FILM FOUR in the North West & beyond since the WINTER HILL ARQ B Multiplex power increased from about 10kW to 100kW on 21 Sep 11, plus how far this signal is now available now, with a STANDARD GROUP C/D Aerial ?

Brian any chance of the range of your NW map above being extended to show the full extent of the YELLOW coverage in the south of the GRANADALAND region.

I thought the Channel M multiplex from Winter Hill had a much reduced coverage Brian ?

Brian
Has the power of the Film 4 Multiplex from WINTER HILL (Arqiva B I think) now been increased to that of the other main Winter Hill MULTIPLEXES as predicted ?
