Mike Dimmick: Yes, I was just looking at transmitter symbol on my desktop and wondering what to do about them again.
I spoke with Digital UK and they said that the dotted lines mean that the services are distributed using what I was called "the SDH network" - they are fixed-bitrate "direct connections" that are diversely routed through the national fibre-optic networks, the ones that provide the POTS, synchronous and non-synchronous datanetworks nationwide.
They are, in effect, direct virtual connections. To that end I have put them on the maps as pink lines from the main transmitter.
I was thinking that they should probably link back to a regional multiplexing centre, but I'm not sure if this is done centrally in London or if the statmux devices are in regional broadcast centres. I should probably just ask someone at Arqiva...

henrydog: No, not at all. You can replace a Sky+ or Sky+HD box with a FreeSAT+ box.
BT Vision is Freeview, which uses an aerial not a dish.

matt: FreeSAT uses a satellite dish, so no, it's not online. If you want to watch channels online see the Watch live UK TV channels and listen to live radio now | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page, or use the purple panel in the right hand column on any page here.

Darren: You should be able to have excllent reception of all multiplex, as shown at the top of the page all services are output at the same level.
There is a graph on the Aerial group performance | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page which may explain the levels you are receiving.
You would normally expect to use single-channel repeaters in a 30-flat distribution system with one amplification unit for each used channel.

Paul Chambers : Sounds like you may have enabled "sharpening" on your TV set. If you have, turn it off.
