Dave & Mark,
Thank you both for those amazingly fast responses! I bought a new aerial to replace the one in the loft, and when it's pointing at Bluebell Hill, the signal is all right, just a little disappointed I can't get Freeview HD. It sounds like the options are to invest in an aerial to hit CP (and risk not getting HD in any case) or stay with Bluebell Hill and wait. I wanted to go for a good generic solution as the TV goes into a Loftbox and then onto the other TVs in the house which are all getting Freeview built-in (one or two will have Freeview HD too in time I guess). Most of them just use the HDMI that I have sent around the house over Cat6, but in the event I want to use the tuners in them, I needed an aerial with a reasonable signal. Thanks to you guys it sounds like I'd best wait (not something I do well!) until after switchover for Bluebell Hill, and that should meet my needs. Thanks once again guys.

Advice as to aerial and transmitter combination. I live halfway down Bluebell Hill and have noticed that my neighbours with external aerials have them pointed somewhat west, rather than north. I assume they're therefore using Crystal Palace. I only have a loft aerial: I've never put any import on a working aerial until now as I have Sky HD. However, given the weather (snow often blocks the Sky dish) AND the fact I have a shiny new large LED telly with Freeview HD built-in, it's worth having it, even as a back-up. Questions: I assume I should get an external one fitted. Bluebell Hill isn't going HD until 27th June. Should I wait til after that, and use that transmitter, or should I stay with Crystal Palace, and get HD now? Thanks in advance to all you knowledgeable people.
