Dear Briantist,
Is the Bishop's Stortford (B/S)Transmitter not for use by B/S homes as there seems to be large areas oflow reception in B/S?
For the BBC news from Anglia area, what would be the best transmitter to line the aerial up to for freeview in 2012?
I do have FreeSat, but good to have Freeview as well.

Fred: The transmitter provides Bishop's Stortford with additional analogue reception, and will provide Freeview Light from 2012.
