How do we test our receiving equipment will work before the switchover?
Foxhall, Ipswich is unlikely to receive transmission from Felixstowe, Sudbury or Aldeburgh without a new aerial or repositioning.
Thanks

Martyn: You don't. At switchover the digital service will work.

Felixstowe will be OFF-AIR from midnight. It is expected to be up-and-running again by mid-morning (the advice to installers says 9am). Ensure that the transmitter is fully running again before tuning in your digital box.
You can find progress reports at Digital UK - Relay transmitter switching times .

Sorry Mark, gave you duff info. Felixtowe has gone digital. I do not quite understand your point, though, if you have no box!
I am at a loss to know where you are getting weak analogue from. I have checked the channels used by suspects--Dover, Bluebell Hill, Ips, Wood, and none uses the analogue freuencies formerly used by Felixtowe. Have you perhaps retuned to see what you can get? Whatever it is, it will be poor.
The local relays only carry major channels. The rubbish ones have to pay to use the service and don't bother because the audience is small.
Much the best option here is to invest in a freesat recorder.
Regards to Anita.

nick:Alternatively, if you see horizontally polarised aerials unlike your vertical one on nearby houses, they are on Sudbury and you could be too, with a high gain aerial, preferably on a long pole

I live in the Felixtowe IP11 2UB area close to the Port. Last year I bought a new Digital TV complete with Freeview and invested in a new Highgain digital aerial on the roof in time for the switchover in July this year. All went well at the switchover and i picked 80+ digital tv & radio channels. However for the last couple of weeks we have lost ALL channels for practically all the day. Would appreciate your advice on what to do next or who i should complain to about this problem. I thought the digital changeover was meant to improve our viewing now we have nothing!
