Please can anyone update the information concerning Freeview viewing problems when a new mobile phone station opens up. It is reported a £200-£300 box will have to be purchased to continue viewing Freeview. It can hardly be called Freeview if this is going to be the case.

That is for when Ofcom sell off the top part of the current TV band for 4G. I believe that 4G operators will have to pay for filters for vulnerable people but not for the Gen Pop.
If the 4G transmitters are setup properly, I wouldn't expect much if any problems for people with a decent aerial/co-ax.

Belmont Transmitter.
what type / make of wideband aerial is recommended for this area?
Current antenna is old and looks like a 14 element WB We get some pix-elation problems on the main channels at times.
It is roof apex mounted on 4ft pole

Brian Norris: See:
Belmont TV Transmitter
A look on Streetview at your post code (photo taken April 2009) shows quite a few aerials on Emley Moor. I'd estimate maybe a 40/60 split in favour of Emley.
Number 73 appears to have a log. These are native widebands and have a flatter gain curve than yagis. See:
Aerials, TV Aerial and Digital Aerial
I suppose that this particular aerial was fitted to pick up analogue Channel 5 and/or pre-switchover digital which were lower power than the digital signals now. With that in mind, it would seem logical conclude that such an aerial will be sufficient now.
It might be a Log 40. Maybe a DM Log will work. I am 40 miles away from Belmont, to the north east of Doncaster. I have a DM Log in the loft pointing at Emley Moor. Before I installed it I tuned to C22 and C25 and got a healthy mid-80% signal strength on my Sony RDR-HXD870 when pointing the aerial out the first floor window in the direction of Belmont.
Before you do this, it might be worth checking that there isn't water in the cable or joins. Check that the cable hasn't chafed on tiles, for example.
If you do replace the cable, then it is probably best to use copper foil double-screened cable (e.g. WF100):
Satellite, Television, FM, DAB, Aerial, Coaxial Cable, Plugs, Sockets, Connectors & Leads
Obviously get someone to do it who has the proper tools, ladders and knowledge to work safely at heights.

Brian Norris: I should add that number 73's aerial is pointing at Belmont.
