... I was under the impression that both the BBC and Goverment have accepted these changes - Ofcom | Annex B. Local DAB build-out plans - to the DAB network.
This includes the closing of the four "regional multiplexes" - Four regional DAB multiplexes to close in 2013 to allow for better local DAB | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice .

Theflyingdodo: The DAB network is designed (note the complex 'radiation patterns' for each DAB transmitter) to have areas non-overlapping when different services use the same blocks.
From http://stakeholders.ofcom….pdf
If you happen to "try" to receive outside the "official" areas then you will get both bit-streams and end up with nothing. There is no intention for out-of-area coverage.
Elsewhere on the DAB network, signals on the same block from other transmitters will enhance reception.

Keith: I would expect you don't have a DVB-T2 receiver from the question you asked as the mode is 256QAM 32KE 2/3 40.2Mb/s DVB-T2 MPEG4. Please see the check list at Are you really watching free TV in high definition? | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice .

Steve: The answer to (1) is an Outdoor aerial.
And the answer to (2) is Yes. See My Freeview | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice . You will need to ensure the aerial is mounted up as high as you can get it to ensure excellent reception from the Angus mast.

Looking at the link at the top of the page "click to recheck" - BBC - Reception problems - shows no problems known about.
