Rowridge (Isle Of Wight, England) transmitter

Max: You should be able to use a basic aerial.

If you are going to spend a little extra money, you should spend it on using satellite-grade cable.

A **group A* aerial - see Freeview reception - all about aerials | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - would be best for Rowridge. You will only find the "wideband" type at Asda and other high street stores. These are OK, but a group A would be more suitable for Rowridge reception.

KevL The BBC does not have local radio multiplexes, BBC local stations are carried on the commercial local radio multiplexes.

Les Nicol: Yes, I was just adding to that. I wasn't sure if joyce carter meant Freesat or fSfS.

Mike Dimmick: If I were guessing about this - and there is nothing listed in the official documentation - they might be able to up Multiplex 2 and D, which are at only 320W to 1kW.

MARIO: You won't get any Freeview until 2012. Freeview is a digital service.

Nedbod: Two things:

1) There are two different counts, one is the "average over the day" and the the other is "average during peak hours". Broadcasters use their allowance to put as many spot adverts in popular programmes as possible to maximize revenue;

2) The count is only for "spot" (paid for) adverts. It does not include any other promotional material, such as trailers for the broadcasters' own programmes OR services.
