I live in Burnham and have a Sudbury facing aerial for analogue up to now we have got Digital at about 30% from Dover (presumably off the back of the aerial). Since the BOC transmitter went live yesterday (BBC only) the signal has gone up to about 85% for the BBC channels , to my suprise though this is off the Sudbury transmitter (ch 44) the BOC transmitter (ch48) is only showing 75%. Now our aerial is admitadly sideways on to the BOC transmitter but at half mile range I wouldn`t expect this to be an issue. I also tried a portable digital aerial which was still completely useless. Is the Burnham Transmitter going to get stronger? I also can`t get reliable teletext on any BBC channel. It seems at the moment having a Dover facing aerial for Digital is a much better option? Dover has always been the strongest Analogue signal (its what my potables get)I just used Anglia out of preference.
