Jen Bolter: You will have two spare outputs, so you can attach two normal Freesat/Freesat HD boxes or one Freesat+HD box.
Yes, loft aerials are unsuitable for digital TV reception. If you want it to work reliably, move it to the roof.

Bertram white: You buy a Freesat HD box, unplug your Sky box, plug in the Freesat HD box and off you go.
Just remember to use an HDMI cable, rather than a SCART to attach the box to your HD Ready TV.

Tony Wright: This is a public service transmitter, it will not be getting any more channels as the commercial operators declined to broadcast from it.

ian: I can't see a "factory reset" helping.
You need to identify what happens at 5.45pm to cause the problem.

David Pinfold: No, the BBC do not wish to do this.
The BBC are quite firm in the opinion that there are multiple platforms for digital radio, and that DAB is only one of them.
Both Freeview and Digital Satellite provide all the BBC radio services at much higher bitrates and with the more advanced MPEG-2 Level III coding (ie, MP3).
DAB is intended to provide a choice of listening with reasonable sound quality for mobile and indoor use.
The BBC provides the highest quality versions of their services online where the most modern AAC codecs are used.
This is the service that is provided for "audiophiles". This can be done at very low cost, and would not require them to double up their DAB transmission facilities.

michael: I don't mind discussing this at all, I just find contributions that are put forward as being technically correct but are highly misleading - disinformation - are not intended as debate, but as disruption, which is another thing entirely.

Paul O'Connor: Please see Freeview intermittent interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help with that.
I note that, until switchover, you are not in an official Freeview reception area so this might just be the normal effects of being in a poor reception area.

Josh: No, of course not. It's just another Sky lie wrapped up as a "technical problem".
DVB-T2 provides 30% more capacity for no extra money, why would Sky want the FTA broadcasters using it?
Sky have a long history in doing this kind of thing.
