mr.h. dennis: I couldn't agree more with that sentiment. I have never understood why it was made a relay of Sutton Coldfield, especially as viewers in Repton were already receiving signals from Waltham, with the aid of high-gain aerials on 12foot poles!

KMJ,Derby: I suspect that it could be because it was a sub-relay of Winshill at some point.

How can mux 60 still transmit when 4g is at that frequency ? This is already a problem! You must be aware of this ?

Simon: C60 is not used for 4G. C60 is 785MHz which is the last UHF channel below the frequencies used for 4G, which start at 791MHz.

Simon:

Further to that said by StevensOnln1, if your reception is being affected by the presence of 4G signals, then you should have already received a filter from at800. If you have not received such, then contact them at Contact us | Advice or general enquiries | at800 and ask for a free filter.
