For some reason Heathfield has not imported ... I will have to find out why.

roy: You are predicted to get excellent reception - from a rooftop aerial. Indoor aerials are not reliable for Freeview reception, even very close to the transmitter as you are.

Raymond Cowie: I would probably wait until switchover is complete a week on Wednesday before altering any of your equipment.

Chris: Is the aerial on the roof? A roof top aerial is require for reliable Freeview reception.

Michael mc ananet: You are not predicted to get Freeview from the transmitter, at least until 2012 and not all services even then.
I would suggest you go for Freesat, see Compare Freeview and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Bigdave: You get channel in the 800 range when you have failed to clear out the channel list before rescanning.

Dale: Some people still use 4:3 televisions in "centre cut out" mode, so the graphics must remain within the "4:3 safe area". See BBC - Commissioning TV - On Screen Restrictions for more.

Jm F: The current map is using:
Distance=sqrt((ERPW)*(10^-db))/fpMinW)
Where fpMinW=7.94328234724E-12 (watts) which is -81 dBm, the minimum level for a DAB receiver.
There's some debugging to do, but the power is related to the distance squared, so does not fall off like a "radiation" diagram.
