trevor cashmore: What do you mean by the "site owners transmitter"? You should be getting all services direct from Winter Hill at the postcode you provided.

Simon: Can you please provide a full postcode?
Is your DAB radio connected to a rooftop aerial?
If not, whereabouts in the house is the radio located?

Mike Challis: Please let me know how you get on. Using remote desktop to retune from the other side of the world because of a switchover must be a first...

Duncan: There are, as I recall, specific laws about the "right to light" which would apply to capture of sunlight onto a roof area.
planning
"A Right of Light is protected in England and Wales under common law, adverse possession or by the Prescription Act 1832. Unlike right to freedom from smell and noise, a Right of Light has to be acquired before it can be enforced.
Natural light is a commodity that can be bought, sold or even transferred between parties. Rights can be registered, granted by deed or simply acquired by having a minimum of 20 years enjoyment of light through a window or opening. Once a window has received over 20 years of unobstructed daylight, it automatically earns itself a Right of Light. Such rights are, for Land Registration purposes, overriding interests. They are valid whether or not they are registered on the title deeds to the property which claims the right."
But, as in most cases like this, the question would be one of "intent". If you go all "Who Shot Mr Burns" I suspect that the law would take a very dim view.
You cannot, for example, chop down a neighbours tree because a branch overhangs your property, but you can chop down the branch.
When it comes to the overhanding satellite dish, as the great majority of it does not overhang, you would not be in a position to effect the removal of it.

jb38: I definity recall CMT disappearing "in the middle of the night" so to speak. Actually, I don't think I can understand how a niche music broadcaster could survive, given that you needed a whole transponder per channel in the old analogue days, and even the non-niche (and IMHO) excellent "BSB Power Station" did not have the cash to operate.
"Video Hits 1",http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VH1_UK is still there on Sky.
The links are from a site which I did back in the misty past of the 1990s, mainly as something to do on the commute to and from work, which was a forerunner to UK FREE TV.
