When I tried to get a set-top box two or three years ago the John Lewis man gave up in despair as my flat in Muswell Avenue had no digital signal whatsoever. He said I was in a "blackspot", under the shadow of the hill at Alexandra Palace which was blocking the signal from Crystal Palace. When the Alexandra Palace transmitter goes digital in April, will I be able to receive Freeview? I've been told that my property is not caabled for Virgin and I'm worried I'll have no TV at all come the spring!

Sorry, should have added that it is a ground floor flat in a terraced house with a roof aerial

Thanks both and Happy New Year! The stronger signal at switchover maysolve the problem; and that is very useful intelligence about making sure the aerial'spointing at the transmitter! I do receive analogue TV, though the picture on Channel 5 is so fuzzy as to be unwatchable, and reception can be poor even on BBC1.
