Zimmy: A television channel, with a video stream easily takes the capacity of many audio streams. Please see How digital television works | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

The multiplexes are a fixed bandwidth of 24Mb/s, and this can't be changed.

The concept of a "slot" is unhelpful, as the services are statistically multiplexed together, which allows dynamic manipulation of the video compression parameters of several video streams to provide for the maximum bandwidth efficiently on a moment-to-moment basis.

andrew: As you have not provided a postcode I can't possibly comment. ONdigital (or ITV Digital) closed over nine years ago on Wednesday 1st May 2002.

Corinne Bradd: Yes, this is much as you might expect until the Clacton transmitter comes on next month. Then you will get the HD transmissions and the 3+4 multiplex, but you will not be able to receive any more channels, without using Freesat.

maryjane: Sounds like some form of fault - try What can I do when my Sky Digibox says 'No Signal' or 'Technical fault'? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice please, but you should probably just call the Sky engineer back to be honest.

John Morgan: You are not predicted to have good reception from any transmitter, other than Sandy Heath until switchover.

I would think your aerial is probably pointing at the Sutton Coldfield or Oxford transmitters.

You can just wait until they switch over during September for a full service.

Martin Gibbins: An HDMI switch might be your best option, you can get these from most shops and large supermarkets, ie HDMI Switcher 3-Way - Tesco - Tesco.Direct .

steve willis: I would suspect the signal is being damaged by the amplifier. If it has a "level", try turning it right down.

You would probably be best removing the amplifier from the system altogether.

Harry: Holme Moss carries the BBC services on DAB at 5kW and also the Digital One national multiplex. If you have a poor indoor DAB service, then you will probably need a small external aerial.
