I live in EH13 and actually find even though I get a stronger reception from Craig Kelly (and thats what my Tv automatically tunes into) it is prone to picture breaking up.
So I use BlackHill transmitter for the BBC channels - manual tune> on frequency C46 (674.0MHz)
Hope that helps someone

Sorry Brianist but this is poor. Suddenly we are not getting some existing freeview channels we got before with indoor aerial. Sounds more like lack of investment and reliable info. throughout this switchover. Roof aerial never mention 5 years ago when we installed ours. Believe our Craigkelly transmitter is 55 years old. Scotland is a windy country , roof aerials are a poor idea- other than if you are installer. More should be invested to sort this issue. Disgruntled Cellardyke

Graham Ellery: If I was you I would wait for the full power service on Wednesday.
The output levels of the transmitters are designed for rooftop aerial reception, this is the same for all parts of the UK.
