Eastbourne (East Sussex, England) Freeview Light transmitter |Thursday 14 June 2012 11:51AM
Eastbourne
The reason people in Eastbourne have lost some of the channels ie 23,26 30 is that Hastings are using these frequencies for the Com channels and Eastbourne is using them for the PSB channels.The digital signal from Eastbourne is far more robust than the old analogue signal and travels further.I have been using hastings for the past 2 years and at changeover on 13th retuned and got all channels from hastings it was later that day when Eastbourne got switched on that I lost 23, 26,30. Brilliant planning have 2 transmitters with virtual line of sight of each other 17 miles apart using same channels for different services. Having to move aerial to Heathfield and more cost!!!

I do not know why we are talking about this type of solution, we should all be complaining to OFCOM as to why they allowed the same frequencies to be used for different services 17 miles apart. If they had used different channels for Eastbourne none of this would be relevant and nobody would be looking at having to spend extra money to retain services!!!
Poor planning should be changed immediately.

Eastbourne
I live in Eastbourne and have taken Freeview for the past 3 years from Hastings.
During switchover I have noticed that the strongest signal is now from Eastbourne transmitter, looking on the pages here I also notice that on June 13th the same channel numbers will be used at Eastbourne and Hastings for different services. Whose bright idea was that?
