trevorjharris: I know how weighting works, thank you.
I was educated to degree level in maths and did Statistics as one of my A-Levels. It was a long-time ago, but I'm sure I have not forgotten.
I didn't wish to use any weighting because that would prejudge the outcome of the exercise.
My aim here - and I admit is different from yours - is to think on the matter without prejudice.
What you have is "an opinion", what I am aiming to provide is "analysis".

Mike Dimmick: the council tax link is interesting... But it doesn't say you won't get a criminal record if you are sent to prison. I'm not sure how you can be sent to prison without it being a crime.

Mike Dimmick: Whilst the transmission part of DVB-T2 is at the theoretical maximum, there will still be Moore's Law operating on the viability of compression/decompression software.
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) High Efficiency Video Coding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is being pencilled in to improve the number of services and/or image resoultion in the coming decade.

Denise steadman: There are indeed current engineering works on the Waltham transmitter.
Normally such work is done during the day, and services are restored from 6pm-9am the next day.,
Can you perform a scan again at 6pm today?
If there is work going on, it's best to not rescan, but wait until the work is finished.
