David: my Freeview receiver has Adult Playboy on 178. Mail travel TV has an mpeg 5 stream still... With a message saying it has closed.

martyn: That's a strange mix of questions.
The free-to-air transmissions used by Freesat (and Freesat-from-Sky) already use the UK beams that require a 2m dish in Portugal. And they have for many years (they were on Astra 2D before). See Satellite footprint maps | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice for details of those.
There are no plans for the Sky subscription services to move satellites.

Calgacas: Generally speaking the "Possible weak signal" description in engineering information means that there will be people working on the mast at some point.
It is necessary to turn the power levels down because of "air work". However, this is a very strange time of year for such work to be done.
Such work can only be undertaken during daylight and favourable weather conditions. For this reason the power levels are reduced only for the time it takes such work to be done.
At all other times the signal levels are at their contractual level.
It is very likely that your difficulties have a different source and unconnected to the engineering work. Given that the changes to the transmitter are generally speaking programmable it not likely that works that would reduce the signal for you on a long-term basis are being done.

David: Generally speaking I match the data here to that provided by DMOL and confirmed (where I can) by my Freeview receiver.

wenski: You are not predicted to have easy reception of the ArqB (or "COM6") multiplex at your location.
Do you have a rooftop aerial pointing at the Sudbury transmitter?

Jim Ballantyne: Just to add: the proposed upgrade to the local radio DAB multiplex for Kent has a transmitters Dunkirk to cover the Faversham area.
