Since Bilsdale is out of action for the foreseeable future, Eaton Nab is now outputting additional uhf multiplexes to try and offer a partial service. Does anyone have the Freeview stations and multiplexes? Could they be posted here? Aerial in loft and external eaves.

Mike Curtis: There is even more to ponder over with respect to this. Arquiva's plan is to erect a temporary tower ca 80 metres high near the existing site at some unspecified time in the near future which will sit on concret blocks. SInce Bilsdale is 315 meters in height this will still be unsatisfactory for many. North York Moors National ark planning authrority have said that the 80 meter arrangement will be unsuitable in the depths of winter. Arquiva have given no indication as to when and if they intend to replace the current Bilsdale Tower on a like for llike basis. They could have submitted a planning application to replace the current Bilsdale Tower on a like for like basis but apparently haven't.

I didn't post twice - I clicked post twice due to the website being unresponsive Regarding the See Bilsdale transmitter: Replacement TV mast could take months to build - BBC News Why not just get on with a like for like replacement mast at the same site. The 80 metre tempmast will deliver an inferior service and will cost time, money and effort.
"A meeting of the North York Moors National Park Authority (NPA) heard its construction was some way from starting and would take a month alone. The authority's director of planning Chris France said emergency national planning regulations allowed replacement masts as long as they were movable without the need to go through the planning process. Mr France said as the temporary mast would not be permanently tied down it would not be suitable over the winter at such a height and exposed location and after three months, Arqiva had indicated "another replacement mast" may be required which they said would be subject to full planning permission."
