Ben: Crystal Palace has NOT yet switched over. That happens next April. The Sudbury transmitter, which serves parts of Suffolk and Essex, has just switched - but some of the multiplexes are still on quite low power, because their new frequency allocations are still in use at Dover and/or Bluebell Hill, so they have had to stay on pre-switchover channels.
Digital UK's predictor does think that you'll get best reception of the PSB multiplexes - those run by the traditional analogue broadcasters, carrying their main channels - from Sudbury. The commercial multiplexes are expected to be problematic from there at the moment even with a roof-top aerial. This should improve as they move to clearer channels - you should retune on 27 June next year. The Arqiva B multiplex will move to UHF C63 on 16 November this year, but this change is not expected to improve your reception.

Hi Briantist
I live in Ealing. For about the last 4 weeks I have had nothing (or next to nothing) on Mux 2. Prior to this, I had a good signal.
Any idea what might be causing this, and who should I report this to?
Thanks for an informative site.
