Paul : An increase in signal strength will have no impact on the "crispness" or otherwise of a digital television signal. It is simply impossible as it is DIGITAL service not an ANALOGUE one. Please see How digital television works | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
The signal strength and the coloured boxes your devices use to indicate this is mostly irrelevant. What matters is that the QUALITY is sufficient for reception of the digital multiplex with no bit errors.

Ian: There is no requirement for the Sky box to be connected to the phone line, unless you use the "Box Office".

Ali: No, you can't use it with a Sky+HD box, they are designed to work with the services on the 28.2/28.5 cluster.

Helen: You should have a perfect signal from the Wharfedale transmitter. Is your aerial on the roof?

Andy P: Switchover does not bring any more channels if you already had them all, as many people did from Emley Moor. However, it does bring some to everyone and all to most, which was not the case before switchover.

Brian Fileman : The most common reason for this is that your signal is now far too strong and is overloading your receiver.
If this is the case, you will need to remove and boosters or amplifiers you have from your system. If you don't have any, but just a massive aerial, you will have to fit an "attenuator", which you can get for about a fiver.

Betamax_man: It doesn't matter if you can "see" the transmitter, it is NOT intended to provide service in the direction of York. Of course it could, but the DAB local multiplexes are based around the concept of serving particular counties and it necessary for the frequency reuse that the coverage does not leak from the defined regions as this would impact on the ability of other the other regions that use the allocated frequency.
