Cv5 9hu I understand the concept of Freeview lite, just hoping I can get to Sutton coalfield on a wider band aerial...

Dave: Yes, you can get signals direct from Sutton Coldfield, you will need a group B or wideband aerial to get the signal and the aerial will need to be horizontal rather than vertical. The transmitter is northwest 319° from your location.

I receive from the Allesley Park Transmitter, which only tramsmits Muxs 1, 2 & B from abut a mile away.
1. Is there any chance of of the other three Muxs being transmitted from this transmitter?
2. Is there any possibility of receiving from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter which is about 20 miles away?

Dr M I Mathew: 1. No chance. Will there ever be more services on the Freeview Light transmitters? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
2. Please provide a full postcode.

paul davies: You need a group B or wideband aerial pointing at the Sutton Coldfield transmitter - you might have to mount the aerial up quite high to deal with the terrain between you and the mast with all the channels on it.

ben: You are predicted to have good reception of all six muxes at your location from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. To receive S/C you need a group B aerial set for horizontal polarisation and pointing NW. This prediction is, of course subject to there being no local obstructions such as trees or tall buildings in the signal path. The local Allesley Park relay is a PSB only transmitter, so does not transmit the COM muxes.

Ever since our block had the individual aerials replaced by a communal version we have all suffered from occasional channel loss (drop to 32 or 0) and wondered if this has anything to do with it positioned facing into a tall tree 5 metres away. You have to question the installation mentality.
By the way the individual aerials vanished into thin air... at best incompitence at worst theft.
