I live in Chingford post code e4 7la At present my aerial is pointed at Enterprise House E4 London which I believe is the Chingford transmitter.My aerial is in the vertical position I receive 1/2/3/4 but dont receive Channel 5 from it.When changeover occurs will I have to change to horizontal or will I have to completely move the aerial around towards Crystal Palace and change to horizontal. thanking you colin vick .

colin vick: Chingford will transmit Freeview Light from 4th/18th April 2012. You do not need to do anything to your aerial at all, unless you want to receive all the Freeview channels, where you will have to fit an aerial suitable for reception from Crystal Palace, which you can do today.

I live in chingford e47la and need to know what band of aerial do I need to get best freebies from I think C palace.Enterprise house at king's head hill I believe is now refunked and not working which was vertical position so which band width aerial would be best horizontal position from C palace.

Colin vick: Presuming you mean Freeview from Crystal Palace, the best type of aerial would be a log periodic which is a wideband aerial type and is capable of receiving all current and future services from Crystal Palace.

I am a freeview customer and live in north Chingford
why have you stopped true movies and true entertainment two of the best channels

carol smith: This website hasn't stopped any channels, it is completely independent and has no connections with any broadcaster. True Entertainment and True Movies have been moved by their owner (Sony) a few months ago resulting in them now having less coverage. The channels have also recently been renamed as Sony Channel and Sony Movies.

colin vick:
The Chingford relay requires Group B aerial rods vertical, bearing 48 degrees (~NW) and is restricted to the 3 PSB multiplexes. Also it's currently listed for Planned Engineering with "Possible service Interruptions". Depending on the aerial you have, as you are that close to it, be careful you don't get too much signal which can overload the tuner resulting in picture and/or sound breakup.
You location is predicted to get good reception for all multiplexes from Crystal Palace, bearing 189 degrees (fractionally W of due S), rods horizontal, but you will need a higher gain aerial than for the Chingford relay. The reliability of the COM muxes not quite as good as the PSBs, but you shouldn't notice this with a suitable aerial. You'd need a Group T/Wideband if you want COM7 (note COM8 closes at all transmitters on 22nd June, retune needed as channels are moving multiplex - see 22 Jun 2020 - Important channel broadcast changes | Freeview ) otherwise a Group A aerial will do.
