Heavenscentrose: The work will be done when it's done. It is difficult, heavy and complex work which is being done at the top of a mast 172m above sea level.
It's not like replacing a domestic aerial, not even slightly.
The power of the transmitter after switchover will be much higher than for most other main transmitters (-4dB compared to -7dB) so the coverage will be much better than the analogue coverage.
At switchover the transmitter will be off air for about six hours from midnight.

Dave Adams: Looking at the predictions, you are in a very strong signal area, so have a look at Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
If you have a "shared aerial" then it might require the "common system" to be adjusted to work with the post-switchover frequencies. If you look at the "Transmission frequencies" section above, you can see that C59 and C60 were not used before switchover.
