Alex/Mike Dimmick: Chaper 23 of the "Blue book" says:

This Engineering Channel specification defines the method to be used to broadcast software updates to receivers using capacity made available to manufacturers in the UK DTT multiplexes. Terms and conditions for the use of the Engineering Channel may be obtained from DTG Testing Ltd,

Note that this specification defines a generic method for implementation of the Engineering Channel. The extent of the implementation will be set out in the Operations Manual

The key features of the scheme apply to both the current object-carousel based system and the data-carousel based DVB-SSU system ... the system uses standard MPEG data structures and should be able to pass through the UK network without problem

The ability to use the methods contained in the DVB-SSU specification for receiver firmware updates is added in this version of the D-Book specification, initially for receivers designed for the DVB-T2 services but it is intended that this will ultimately be used for all UK DTT receivers.

kaz edwards: Yes, you need to use Sandy Heath, yes you need to point the aerial at the transmitter to get services from it.

andyboy: I suspect your aerial is not pointing at Sudbury, but another transmitter. If you want Freeview HD today, you need to ensure you are using the correct trasmitter.
