Having invested in costly equipment to get Sudbury rather than my local relay so as to get the full list of channels, is that transmitter ever going to live up to its name of a full service and give me the last multiplex so I can see Al Jazeera again?

thanks, Mike P.
There seem to be several empty channels. It is a shame Al Jazeera does not use one.

I sincerely hope the channel changes shown here for March are incorrect. Having invested in a new aerial and a freeview recorder box, it would appear that my aerial which is designed for the former group b and c will not get the main BBC and ITV channels which appear to be moving to a group A aerial.

I think it is a liberty to make people invest in new aerials to receive freeview and then a few years later change the channels used so that yet another aerial is required.
If the latest changes result in viewers being unable to watch their tv's because the broadcasting channels have been moved to a different aerial group, is there a body we can complain to?
In my case a wideband aerial was not good enough, I specifically needed one biased towards the muxes on channels 56, 58 and 60 which were weak. Now they propose to move the channels out of aerial group, to the opposite end of the available frequency bands, around channel 30!

thank you. However, I am technically in the area of the freeview light transmitter at Aldeburgh, so for Sudbury I need the majority of elements on the aerial in use, which with log periodic they are not.

Please would someone confirm that the info on this site re channel changes is incorrect, ie that the main BBC and ITV muxes will remain on the existing channels after they have finished messing about so that those of us who struggle to see some muxes will continue to see them?

Steve,
I had to go to this large aerial in order to get the muxes on c56, 58 and particularly 60. If I now attenuate, will lose them. C60 was so difficult to get. I had to remove the wall plate and wire coax direct from the booster on the aerial straight in the back of the set.
I do in fact have four aerials and 4 tvs, three of those aerials are lower down, therefore with lower signal, and all do precisely the same thing.
