Peter Whitcombe: No it's not because they are carried on one of the Commercial (COM) multiplexes.

PETER HUGHES: The Clacton PSB relay transmitter is horizontally polarised, so reception of it might be good enough with a Dover-facing aerial.
Combing feeds from Dover and Clacton with a diplexer will not be possible due to channel allocations. The same goes with Sudbury's PSBs and Dover's COMs as COM6 is on C48.
What I would suggest is to use Dover as the main transmitter whilst having the signal from the Clacton relay fed into a separate set-top box for when regional programmes are being broadcast. I appreciate that this might not be convenient for cases where signals are distributed to more than one room. That said the strength of the Clacton transmitter may be such that it can be split using an unpower splitter which would reduce the cost of a second distribution system for regional viewing. That said, it would require a separate set-top box at each TV.

Heather: The TV aerial feeds into the Sky box. The output of the Sky box splits and feeds all other rooms.
All other rooms then have access to the Sky box and the incoming aerial feed.
For you to be able to view the Sky box in other rooms, each TV must have an analogue tuner, or otherwise there must be an analogue tuner adjacent to them.
So, if the house has one aerial socket in each room whose cable originates in the loft, the cable from the lounge (assuming that is where the Sky box is) will feed the signals (Freeview and Sky) up to the loft. Therefore the aerial installer will have to run another cable from the roof to the lounge for the incoming aerial feed.

Keith Lakin: It is your aerial which is picking up Moel-y-Parc. Install filters at your own expense if it is such a great issue.

DONALD: Film4+1 will take the former place of Film4. So the Cupar PSB relay transmitter will not carry Film4+1.
Those who can receive the full complement of channels from Angus will get Film4+1.

Kate Lee: Judging by the Streetview photograph I wonder if your aerial is pointing to Crystal Palace, which means that you should select London. "South East" is Hannington, which is roughly the opposite direction.

Kate Lee: According to DTG Food Network is still on logical channel number 48:
DTG :: DTT Services by Multiplex
It is carried on COM5 multiplex, which also carries Pick TV and Dave.

Ger: Have you carried out a retune as one was required?
