M. Bailey: The transmitter will carry the services listed at the top of the page, and no more. See Will there ever be more services on the Freeview Light transmitters? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
The polarization of all transmitters remain the same at switchover.

n day: You need to take the VCR to the local recycing centre, it has no digital tuner and is no longer suitable for use.
Then you need to get a Freeview+ or Freesat+ hard-drive based recorder from a local store.

Mike Dimmick: Thanks, as ever, for your comments.
I was using "line of sight" as shorthand, but I'm using the Earth Curvature Correction - Earth Curvature Correction .
I have read the above publications many times (thanks). I have been involved in the broadcasting business for quite some years, as I am sure you recall.
As I am using the official radiation patterns, I am trying to map out the provided information and not re-create the planning conditions to deal with troposcopic propagation and other events - I am trying to provide a simple map to show the service area for each transmitter.
Whilst it might be interesting to know over-the-radio-horizon predictions for weather conditions, I think that trying to present the information would present considerable confusion.
Another issue is the information displayed needs to not cause too much server load. I will probably be using another AWS machine to host the mapping displays and there is a limit to how much I can pay for this.
Anyway, the current state of the project is that it will display the interim data over the Google Maps correctly.

This example shows the improvement, due to having higher resolution data, around the coast:

david: Thanks very much. Yes, this will be for all maps - when it's all completed. The pages showing for Ireland (NI and RoI) now show the new overlay format - see Digital TV transmitters in Ireland - update | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Andy Fraser: The engineering information is provided by the BBC, the wording is theirs and they do not wish it to be changed in any way.
