Kevin Lovatt: Firstly, NEVER NEVER give out your address (or phone number) on a public forum. We dont need any more than a postcode, and no one will be contacting you by post.

Look at DigitalUK's website - Coverage Checker - Detailed View , you've got two choices - roughly SW (204 degrees) is Sutton Coldfield, which sounds fine. Waltham is the other choice, but Sutton Coldfield should be fine. As long as signal strength is roughly 75%, (not too high, not too low), you get all the muxes your supposed to, and quality is as close to 100% as you can, its cool.

Response to Mike B.
Thanks for your comments. I thought you would like to know that I contacted the people who are handling problems caused by 4G. Two Engineers called and checked my installation. First: they confirmed I was tuned to Waltham. They then did some further checking at my lounge aerial input and followed this with a visit to my loft where my booster and booster/distributor are situated, in series.
Downstairs again for further checks (after fitting a filter pre-boosters). Then up to the loft again for further adjustments and down again to confirm that they had got rid of the interference.
Finally, I had to sign that they had been and that they had not sold me anything.
Two or three days later, I got a call to ask my opinion of the Engineers and their service.
Altogether, a very good experience. Just in case others follow our example; I don't know if being over 75 got us the work done without charge.

Eric Brett: The ironic thing is that you might be one of the very few people that have actually had a problem with 4G - and I didn't even mention it!
Good that it got sorted.

C Besley : A 4G filter would not block those or any other channels (unless it is faulty). If someone came out to install the filter for you I would suggest contacting them again.

jim lavery: The e-mail you received is unlikely to have been sent from this website which is independent and has no connection with any broadcaster or transmitter company. The only transmitter to have any changes take place so far is Selkirk which has resulted in some viewers needing a replacement aerial if their existing aerial does not get good reception at the new frequencies, however the scheme will not provide a replacement aerial to resolve an existing problem which is unrelated to the frequency change. If you receive Freeview from Selkirk take a look at Changes to Freeview in the Scottish Borders | Freeview but if you use any other transmitter and have poor reception, please provide a postcode so we can offer further advice.
