Dave, it says it immediately below the muxes, this page.
I am coming to the conclusion that whether Sudbury or Tac, the channels in the 40s come through with whatever aerial, and that therefore a group c/d might be the best option, the only way to get the high channels.

Thanks JB,
The trouble with Aldeburgh is that it lacks so many channels, ITV 3 is the most desired.
Analogue was good from Sudbury, even C5 on 50kw.
I am a trier. If I can get some Sudbury muxes, I fail to see why I cannot get all. The box shows 100% on ch41 and 44 muxes, which include the stations I could get from Aldeburgh, but nil for ch 60. Even 58 is usually ok.
I am told that c60 will be replaced sometime. Do you have any ideas when and with what?

Thanks Dave and KMG,
It seems that I must stick to the plan to try all manner of aerials, and hope that the plan to go to group A never materialises, as that would mean another set of problems.
I wish I could work out why from Sudbury I can get all channels, including 58, yet the signal goes to almost zero on 60.
Speaking of continental interference, yesterday even the strongest channel pixellated, presumably the Dutchmen again.

DAH, probably the hot weather bringing in the Dutchmen, they are little devils with our reception.

Dave and Kevin,
I have three boxes on three Sudbury aerials. No one box is better than the other and each one works slightly differently, reception-wise, but only because they are on different aerials. If I swap aerials, they are all the same. No aerial gets c60, except occasionally, whilst c58 is usually ok.
I also have an aerial specifically on Dover which I put on the shed to get Dover analogue to play with old tvs when Sudbury ceased analogue. When Dover went digital, I thought I would take it down----but then found it was the only way to get the full digital service!
I think re Sudbury those in authority have much to answer for. When ITV 3 was on 14 kw it was fine, now on a new channel on 100kw it comes and goes.
Having said all that, yesterday I could not even get a picture that would not break up even on c41, from Sudbury, which I put down to the Dutch, who came in with the aerial at 90 degrees to Holland.....Dover...she was fine!

Thanks both.
The receiver on Dover is in the shed, aerial on the shed at eaves hight housewise. Tuner is Digital Vision AD BEAV. I have tried it almost daily since Dover went digital, always all channels.
In house, 3 on Sudbury. One a tiny cheapy from Tesco, name not to hand, TVOnics digital tv recorder, and the third Digilogic DSTB1000. All sd only.

And the three in the house, on very rare occasions, used to get the very weak signal that was on c63!

Dave, thank you for that.
I am currently trying to work out an aerial that will get me ch 60, far and away the most difficult. If you have any idea what channel will be substituted for it and when, you will save me the bother of installing yet another aerial which may or may not work.
