Giles: The point of switching of analogue was to provide a "digital dividend". This was never expected to be "more Freeview channels".
As for the comment about "dopped a couple of shopping channels", there is no "they" to do this.
The Freeview system is a "free market" where channel providers can bid for use of the spectrum on a free and fair basis. If the shopping channels can make a profit, they are entitled to operate.
The "adult" channels only operate at night, using bandwidth capacity provided by other channels going off-air. If they were removed, it won't create any space for new channels.

Nick: Most people can get totally stable Freeview reception. You didn't provide a postcode so I can't really comment about your specific position.

Carmen: You can attach any Freesat box to the satellite connection (or Freesat+ box if you had Sky+).
Freeview boxes won't work with a satellite dish.

Ian: It says you need be 30 meter above ground level for a ***LINE-OF-SIGHT*** to Waltham.
The system says you can get Waltham, because the backend uses Fresnel Zone calculations.
A line-of-sight aerial link will guard against reception problems, but you will get an acceptable signal level.
