Since both fall within group E you can't combine them. Brianist- you do an amazing job of a hard task.

Gazza: As you are not predicted to ever get a signal from Bluebell Hill, I would suggest you don't spend any more money on aerials, and use Freesat/Freesat HD/Freesat+HD instead.

maybe your boss should read over the last 6 pages of complaint posts and is probably why the status has changed on the top of the page,
dont take it personal but i am not the only person that is upset

Gaza: Look at Digital Uk's Trade view. The ony transmitter that could possibly have received all the channels from is Dover not bluebell hill: unless you've got stacked(phased array) on a 60 ft guyed mast which I doubt with passion. Also, Brianist runs this alone from what I've gathered.
